Tacos. Tacos. Tacos.

The best thing about being gluten-free: Mexican food! Yes, that’s right, it's a green light for most Mexican food. Corn chips, salsa, tacos, rice, beans, etc. The list goes on and on.

Tacos are one of my favorite foods. You can make a taco with just about anything and it is an inexpensive, delicious way to indulge without the bulge! Just don’t fry the crap out of your taco shell.

Your shell should not be dripping with oil!

To make sure of this, I use spray olive oil. One quick spray will get the frying job done and saves you tons of calories. So quickly heat up your corn tortilla and throw in your favorite toppings. I tend to skip out on heavy toppings like a lot of cheese, sour cream and guac. Those can be brutal on a sensitive stomach. All you need is some meat, lettuce and a nice hot sauce. Your favorite hot sauce will compensate for a lack of cheese and other toppings. I prefer Trader Joe’s Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce, Cholula is also an awesome choice.

If tacos don’t do it for you, burritos are a go too! Just ditch the flour tortilla. You can always add some extra lettuce, beans or rice and be good to go. With rice and beans burritos are so filling it’s hard to miss the heaviness of the flour tortilla. Most burrito shops offer bowl burritos which are perfect for gluten-free people. Try Qdoba’s Naked Burrito. Delicious!
