Gluten-Free Tacos
A complete gluten-free taco blueprint: safe tortillas, clean seasoning, and toppings without hidden wheat.
Ingredients
- 12 certified gluten-free corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 lb chicken thighs or ground beef
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- Cilantro and lime
Instructions
- 1
Check tortilla packaging for a certified gluten-free label — many corn tortillas are made on shared lines.
- 2
Mix your own seasoning from the spices listed; packet blends often use wheat as an anti-caking filler.
- 3
Cook the meat over medium-high heat, then add seasoning with a splash of water and simmer 5 minutes.
- 4
Warm tortillas on a dry skillet 30 seconds per side.
- 5
Build tacos with meat, avocado and pico de gallo.
- 6
Finish with cilantro and lime, and keep shared spoons out of gluten-containing sides.
