On the plate: Corn tortilla chips with plain beef, black beans and melted cheddar, lime wedge on the side.
Make it a game: Build little towers of chips, beef and cheese and see how tall they go before the big bite.
Set it aside at step 4, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works
- Celiac disease: Corn tortilla chips and everything else here is gluten-free, with nothing hidden in the seasoning.
- Kid (4–12): Mild beef and beans with melty cheddar over chips, easy to pick up by hand.
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.
