Why it works
- Celiac disease: A naturally gluten-free plate: sweet potato, beans and spinach, no flour in sight.
- Wheat allergy: Sweet potato stands in for the tortilla, so there is no wheat to watch for.
- Gluten-free: Whole sweet potato, beans and greens, all gluten-free without swaps or substitutes.
- Acid reflux (GERD): Baked rather than fried, with mild cumin and no tomato or citrus in the filling.
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.
