Recipe Tips

  • To ensure that this taco salad is gluten-free ensure that you use gluten variants of corn chips, taco seasoning, and mayonnaise.
  • You can make taco seasoning at home, and it only requires a few basic spices and herbs. It’s perfect if you prefer to make everything at home.
  • The tomato can be swapped for a handful of cherry tomatoes instead. Both are delicious, but the cherry tomatoes will be slightly sweeter.
  • Corn chips or tortilla chips both work great. You can easily make tortilla chips at home with just a few basic ingredients.
