On low spoon days it can be really nice to have a hot meal, but hot meals are often taxing to make. Fortunately this low spoons hot meal requires no chopping, no standing over a stove and takes under 10 minutes to prepare. Make as many or as few as fits your appetite, but Monash recommends up to 3 corn tortillas per meal.
I use black forrest ham as I found a brand with no high FODMAP ingredients, but you can use whatever type of low FODMAP ham you wish. Even thin slices of home-baked ham work.
Customize this recipe as you like. Add thinly sliced tomato if you like. Use different low FODMAP cheese. A little Dijon mustard spread on the tortilla could add some spice. You could even swap out the ham for turkey or roast beef. Just don’t overfill the tortillas. Too much and hot cheese will ooze everywhere when you take a bite. Make sure to allow to cool a bit before eating so the cheese doesn’t burn your mouth.
