Low FODMAP TexMex Seasoned Ground Beef

Seasoned ground beef has all kinds of applications. From taco filling to salad topping to quiche ingredient, ground beef provides protein and flavor to whatever you’re making. Make a full pound and use it for a week of meals. Make School Lunch Tacos. Add it to Queso. Put it in Breakfast Tacos or Pan Fried Tacos.

Please note that regular supermarket chili powder often contains small quantities of garlic and onion. Low FODMAPers can keep portion sizes very small, replace the chili powder with paprika, or use chili powder that does not contain garlic and onion. You can find brands that do not contain garlic/onions by searching online.
