Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #845: Gluten-Free Chicken Tacos

Being gluten-free means eliminating all foods that contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, from your diet. This lifestyle change can be essential for those with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease, but it’s also increasingly popular among those simply seeking a potential boost to their overall health. There are several foods that are naturally gluten-free, such as: boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fresh fruits and vegetables like red onions and bell peppers, and other unprocessed proteins and produce.

And don’t forget all the colorful toppings you can add – grated cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a dollop of zesty salsa. Being gluten-free can lead to a variety of health benefits, from improved digestive health to increased energy levels. So why not get started on your gluten-free journey right now?
