Recipe FAQs and Notes
What are good taco toppings?
Really anything that you’d like. Think about taco toppings in terms of shredded lettuce, diced onions, jalapenos, and more. And don’t forget the cheese!
What makes tacos spicy?
It’s all about the salsa and seasonings. If you really want to give these tacos a kick add in some cayenne pepper or even a dab of ghost pepper as well.
How do you make tacos gluten-free?
The easiest way to make tacos gluten-free is to swap out the flour tortillas with corn tortillas. This is a great way for you to cut out the gluten. Also, just be certain that any ingredients that you’re using are gluten-free as well.
