After church we headed over to a local Mexican Restaurant for lunch. Before going I checked with my new Gluten Free iPad app for some ideas.
I typically order the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas Make sure you ask to make sure the house corn tortillas do not have flour in them! We have one restaurant chain that puts flour in theirs so we don’t go there. I also bring my own corn chips with me to eat with the salsa. The ones at the restaurant are cooked in a shared fryer so they aren’t safe.
If I don’t order fajitas I go for an enchilada meal. Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas and aren’t fried. I always ask about the sauces to make sure they are safe. Our local restaurant knows me by now so they know that I will still ask just to make sure nothing has changed.
Another option is to order quesadillas made with the corn tortillas. This took a look explaining with the waitress but in the end it worked out.
I do eat the spanish rice and have not had any issues but I know of other Gluten sensitive people who have had problems. So I would suggest eat the rice at your own risk.
Eating at Mexican restaurants to be a good addition to a Gluten Free eaters dining out options. Just make sure you ask questions and come prepared.
Enjoy!
