Why it works
- Celiac disease: Gluten-free corn tortillas and no grain-based sauce keep the tacos free of hidden gluten.
- Shellfish allergy: Cod is the only seafood, with no shellfish or shellfish-based sauce.
- Milk allergy: Olive oil and water build the glaze without butter or creamy toppings.
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.
