Gluten-Free Tacos

American cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

Big Mac sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt-based dressing

💰Cheaper: mayo + ketchup

Yogurt-based dressing is lighter and healthier.

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and add sliced bell peppers and onions.

Drizzle the vegetables with half a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a mix of two parts salt to one part pepper, then toss to coat.

Place the tray in the oven to start cooking the vegetables.

In a skillet, add 1 pound of 90/10 lean ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Sprinkle in the C Foods taco seasoning for one pound of meat and add water according to package directions, continuing to cook until fully browned with no pink spots.

While the beef cooks, prepare the avocados by cutting them in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a bowl.

Mash the avocados on a flat surface with a fork, then mix in the guacamole seasoning and optional lime juice, minced red onion, and cilantro.

Heat gluten-free taco shells according to package directions, preferably using a muffin tin to hold them upright.

Add a slice of pepper jack cheese to two taco shells and a slice of Colby jack cheese to two others before placing them in the oven to bake for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

Once the taco shells are ready, assemble the tacos by spreading guacamole in the bottom, adding ground beef, and topping with the roasted peppers and onions.
