Why it works
- Gluten-free: Gluten-free corn tortillas and plain seasonings keep wheat and hidden gluten out.
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free corn tortillas, fresh produce, and plain spices make this a simple gluten-free taco.
- Wheat allergy: Gluten-free corn tortillas and unblended seasonings keep wheat, barley, rye, and oats out.
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.
