Why it works

  • Wheat allergy: Corn tortillas instead of wheat wraps, with shrimp and lime slaw inside.
  • Milk allergy: Creaminess comes from mashed avocado, no milk or cheese anywhere.
  • Gluten-free: Certified gluten-free corn tortillas and simple skillet shrimp.
  • Dairy-free: Olive oil and avocado carry the flavor in place of butter or cream.
