Smothered Enchilada Beef Burritos

[GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE, FODMAP-FRIENDLY]

If you are like us and love enchiladas and burritos, this recipe checks both boxes! These are simple to make, super-delicious, and they are much easier on the gut than the traditional recipe. Gluten-free tortillas are stuffed full of ground beef, white rice, and black beans, and topped with an enchilada sauce and vegan cheddar cheese. The kids absolutely love this recipe, and our family doesn't miss the traditional dish at all.

This dish is more of a casserole than a burrito you would pick up and eat with your hands. It is so gooey and smothered with sauces, that it practically melts in your mouth. You also can put cheese with the meat mixture if you want to have more cheesy goodness. Beans are typically high-FODMAP, but I use one (1) cup in the entire recipe so that each serving size provides a lower FODMAP portion.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of gluten free tortilla soft wraps (6-8)

• 2 Tbsp garlic-infused olive oil

• 1 Tbsp chives

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp coriander

• 1 cup black beans
