Let’s Get Cooking!

Step 1: Make the Taco Filling

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil. Once heated, add 1 lb of ground beef (or chicken) and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Next, add 1/4 cup water, 2 tbsp tomato paste, and 1 ½ tbsp low FODMAP taco seasoning. Stir it all up, scraping the yummy bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat. Cook everything together for another 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 2: Prepare the Taco Shells

While the filling cooks, you can warm your tortillas! In a separate skillet, heat 1/3 cup of light cooking oil over medium heat. Fry each tortilla lightly for about 10-15 seconds on each side until slightly crispy. Remove and allow to drain on a paper towel.

Pro tip: If you want less mess, heat the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds instead. Easy peasy!

Step 3: Assemble Your Tacos

Spoon a generous amount of the taco filling into each tortilla. Top with lactose-free sour cream, cheddar cheese, green parts of spring onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Yum! You can even get creative and add diced tomatoes or shredded lettuce if you’re feeling fancy.
