- Wheat allergy: Gluten-free broth and corn tortillas keep wheat out of the pork and tortillas.
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free broth and corn tortillas pair with pork, onion and cabbage.
- No spicy food: Mild smoked paprika and oregano season the pork without spicy heat.
- Tree nut allergy: Pork, cabbage, corn tortillas and olive oil make up the dish, with no tree nuts.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
