Why it works
- Wheat allergy: Corn tortillas stand in for wheat tortillas, with no flour or breadcrumbs anywhere.
- Milk allergy: Lime, garlic and cumin bring the flavor instead of cheese or cream.
- Gluten-free: Corn tortillas are labeled gluten-free and every other ingredient is naturally so.
- Dairy-free: Olive oil keeps the turkey juicy and the tortillas blistered, no butter needed.
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.
