If you love a quick and easy meal and Mexican food that fills you up and tastes amazing, you’re probably in the right place. My family LOVES Mexican food: tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, you name it!
A lot of American-made Mexican foot contains a lot of dairy and plenty of gluten if you make certain dishes. For example, there’s cheese on almost every dish I can think of. Or flour tortillas used in loads of meals.
Luckily, we can make our own gluten-free and dairy-free Mexican food at home with ingredients that work for us! Like omitting the cheese or using a dairy-free cheese instead. Or using a gluten-free tortilla or corn tortillas in place of flour tortillas.
The thing I love most about Mexican food is that the flavors are so bold that you generally won’t even miss the cheese or gluten ingredients. There are plenty of ways to make swaps in many Mexican inspired meals to still work out and taste amazing.
