Low FODMAP Tacos

Low FODMAP Tacos

Tacos provide a variety of low-FODMAP options, such as corn tortillas, lean proteins like chicken or beef, and low-FODMAP vegetables like lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber. The classic Mexican flavour comes from spices and herbs like cumin, paprika, and coriander, which also happen to be low-FODMAP. Toppings such as guacamole and a squeeze of lime can enhance the already complex flavours.

Ingredients

🍽 Serves: 4 | ⏱ 30 minutes

Taco Seasoning

• 2.5 tsp ground cumin

• 1.5 tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tsp chili powder (optional)

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper

• 1tsp garlic-infused olive oil

Taco Filling

• 500g minced chicken or beef

• 1 Tbsp EVOO

• 1 cup lettuce leaves (chopped)

• 2 medium tomatoes (diced)

• 1/2 Lebanese cucumber (diced)

• 1 cup tasty cheese (shredded)

• 1 dollop of sour cream (optional)

• Hard or soft tacos (whatever your preference)

Guacamole

• 1 avocado (mashed)

• 1 bunch coriander (finely chopped)

• 1-2 limes (squeezed)

Method

1. Combine the seasoning ingredients in a jar and shake.

2. Heat the oil in a fry pan, add the mince or chicken.

3. Add the seasoning mix and stir it through so it coats the meat. Cook for 5 minutes.

4. Add 100mls of water and cook in medium-high heat until reduced (roughly 15 minutes).

5. While this is cooking, prepare all the other fillings.

6. Heat taco shells or tortillas as per instructions. 

7. To make the guacamole; Mash the avocado with half the bunch of chopped coriander, juice of 1 squeezed lime, salt & pepper. Keep 1 lime aside, quarter it to squeeze directly onto your tacos.

8. Assemble tacos with your preferred fillings (we recommend the DIY approach at the table).

💡If you’d like this meal to be gluten-free, use corn-based taco shells or tortillas.
