How to make gluten free taco meat?

Are corn tortillas gluten-free?

Most corn tortillas are gluten-free. You’ll want to check the ingredients on the packaging. Also make sure to double check that the corn tortillas you purchase are made in a wheat free facility and not processed on the same equipment as other gluten containing ingredients.

Gluten-Free Tortillas

• Mission Gluten-Free Flour Tortillas
• Mission Gluten-Free Corn Tortillas
• Don Poncho Gluten-Free Corn Tortillas
• Guerrero Corn Tortillas
• BFree Flour Tortillas
• Siete Foods Tortillas
• Rudis Gluten-Free Tortillas

Please always check labels as ingredients may change! Not all of these tortillas are soft and they all have very different textures. I use gluten-free corn tortillas in my gluten-free enchiladas recipe. Most corn tortillas are firm and need to be precooked for enchiladas but we have a brand in our area (Don Poncho) that is soft enough to roll uncooked.
