Why it works
- Autoimmune protocol (AIP): Cassava tortillas, shrimp, cabbage, avocado and an herb chimichurri bring the tacos together without grains, dairy, legumes or nightshades.
AIP check: watch for nightshade spices (paprika, chili, cayenne), seed spices (cumin, coriander seed), seed oils and hidden sugar. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
