Delicious Gluten-Free Tacos for Every Palate

Gluten-Free Tacos Recipe made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn flour masa harina
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced avocado
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the corn flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water until it’s pliable.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. Flatten each ball using a tortilla press or between two sheets of parchment paper until they are about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until slightly charred and cooked through. Keep them warm in a clean cloth until you’re ready to serve.
  • In another skillet, brown the ground beef or turkey over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder to the meat. Stir well, allowing the spices to coat the meat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  • To assemble your tacos, place a spoonful of the meat mixture onto a tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, cheese, and cilantro.
  • Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the tacos for an extra burst of flavor.
