A gluten-free taco salad that doesn’t skip the fried tortilla strips
|
If you’ve ever ordered a taco salad at a restaurant and been told, “We can make it gluten free, but we’ll have to leave off the tortilla strips,” this recipe is for you. No more sad salads missing the best part. This gluten-free taco salad has all the good stuff — crunchy romaine, seasoned taco meat, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado — and yes, the crispy tortilla strips too. (They’re so easy to fry up at home, and trust me, they MAKE the salad.) I’ve got step-by-step photos in the post so you can see exactly how to get those tortilla strips golden and crunchy.

What Makes This Recipe Different This recipe also takes a different approach than most gluten-free cinnamon rolls you’ll find online....
Hi Reader! Last weekend, we packed up the car and drove to Wisconsin for a little fall adventure—apple picking! My toddler had the best time walking through the orchard, carefully picking apples off the trees, and taking enthusiastic bites out of each one she grabbed. We ended up coming home with way too many apples (as always)—a mix of Snapdragons, Mosaics (like a sweeter Granny Smith), and Rosalees. They’re all perfect for both snacking and baking, so naturally I started dreaming up what to...
