Description

All the cozy taco-night flavor in one gentle-on-the-gut bake. This Low-FODMAP Taco Casserole layers seasoned meat, gluten-free tortillas, and lactose-free cheese for a bubbly, satisfying dinner that reheats like a dream.


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

  1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) casserole dish with garlic-infused olive oil.
  2. Brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up, 5–7 minutes; drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in Low-FODMAP taco seasoning; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and water; simmer 5 minutes to thicken. Season to taste.
  5. Quarter tortillas. Spread a thin layer of meat mixture in the dish.
  6. Layer tortillas over meat, then sprinkle lactose-free cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
  7. Cover loosely with foil; bake 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 8–10 minutes more, until melted and bubbly.
  8. Rest 5–10 minutes so layers set.
  9. Top with lactose-free sour cream or yogurt, green onion tops, and Low-FODMAP salsa if using.
  10. 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.
