Gluten-free Mexican cooking questions
Is Mexican food gluten-free?
Corn tortillas, rice, beans, salsa and grilled meat usually are. Flour tortillas, some seasoning packets and anything made with beer aren’t.
Can the kids eat it too?
Add everyone to your family in the Gluten app. It checks each recipe for each person and tells you when to set the kids’ portion aside before the chili goes in.
