Are Tacos Gluten-Free?
In order for tacos to be gluten-free, consider the seasonings you use in the meat, the taco shells or tortillas you use, and any cross-contamination that may occur. Many restaurant tacos are NOT gluten-free because the taco seasoning may contain gluten ingredients, the tacos are served on flour tortillas, and the tacos may be cooked in oils, etc, with gluten-containing foods. When eating tacos at a restaurant check with the staff about the ingredients they use to make sure they are gluten-free.
