Gluten-Free Taco Shell

Gluten-Free Taco Shell

EverydayCooked

Gluten-free taco shells are crispy corn-based tortillas formed into a distinctive U-shape and typically made from masa harina or corn flour instead of wheat flour. These shells are naturally gluten-free when made traditionally with corn, making them suitable for celiac and gluten-sensitive diets. They provide a sturdy, crunchy vessel for tacos while offering a authentic corn flavor that complements both traditional Mexican and fusion-style fillings.
