Ingredients (My Favorite Brands)
2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
1 lb ground chicken
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons low-FODMAP taco seasoning (I used Foddies)
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, fresh or dried
1 poblano pepper, diced
8 gluten-free tortillas (I used Rudi’s—they are slightly larger and more flexible than corn tortillas)
3 cups Mexican cheese blend (cheddar, colby, monterey jack, etc.)
Optional toppings: limes, sour cream, avocado (small amount), chopped tomato, low-FODMAP salsa, etc.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Dice the poblano pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil in a skillet. Add the chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add the taco seasoning and cilantro and cook for 7-8 minutes until cooked through. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and soak up as much grease as possible with paper towels.
Spray a half-sized sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray. Lay out the tortillas so they are overlapping in the middle and hanging off the edge of the sheet pan. I used 6 for this.
Sprinkle with half of the cheese. Evenly spread the chicken and the diced poblano and then top with the other half of the cheese.
Fold the edges of each tortilla over the filling and then top with two additional tortillas. If needed, use another sheet pan or mini muffin pan to weigh down the tortillas.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking occasionally. If it’s browning too quickly, cover with foil.
Let cool for several minutes and then move to a cutting board. Slice using a pizza cutter or large knife and serve with desired toppings.
Fructose Forward
Add a chopped tomato to the filling.
Fine with Fructose?
Add sautéed onions or additional peppers as desired.
