Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef or turkey
- 2 tbsp Low-FODMAP taco seasoning (onion- & garlic-free)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (no onion/garlic) or strained tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/4 cup water or Low-FODMAP broth
- 8 small corn tortillas (or certified gluten-free tortillas), quartered
- 2 cups (8 oz / 225 g) lactose-free shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 1/2 cup lactose-free sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
- 2 tbsp chopped green onion tops (green only)
- 1/4 cup Low-FODMAP salsa, for serving (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) casserole dish with garlic-infused olive oil.
- Brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up, 5–7 minutes; drain excess fat.
- Stir in Low-FODMAP taco seasoning; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and water; simmer 5 minutes to thicken. Season to taste.
- Quarter tortillas. Spread a thin layer of meat mixture in the dish.
- Layer tortillas over meat, then sprinkle lactose-free cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
- Cover loosely with foil; bake 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 8–10 minutes more, until melted and bubbly.
- Rest 5–10 minutes so layers set.
- Top with lactose-free sour cream or yogurt, green onion tops, and Low-FODMAP salsa if using.
- Slice into 6 squares and serve.
Notes
Low-FODMAP tips: use green onion tops only; keep cheese lactose-free; choose taco seasoning with no onion/garlic; garlic-infused oil adds flavor without FODMAPs.
Texture tip: lightly toast tortillas before layering to reduce sogginess.
Make-ahead: assemble up to 24 hours in advance; bake just before serving.
