Now that I’m gluten free Mexican food is my go to option when I go out for dinner because a majority of the meals make use of corn and rice rather than wheat.
Before I was gluten free one of my favorite easy to make meals was chicken or beef fajitas. While the size and structural integrity of corn tortillas does not compare to wheat tortillas, they still taste excellent and are a relatively straightforward meal to cook for a group.

Notes
- White Onions are better for this recipe than red onions but all I had was red so that’s what I used. I would advise purchasing white onions when making any Mexican cuisine.
