Notes

To guarantee that your Loaded Cheesy Pocket Tacos are safe, for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease it's crucial to follow these steps and use certified gluten ingredients:
Taco Seasoning: Make sure to use a taco seasoning packet that is certified gluten free. You can create your blend using gluten free spices such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and a touch of cayenne pepper.
Tortillas: Opt for tortillas made from corn or other grains that are free from gluten. These can be easily found in grocery stores. You can even make your own using gluten free flour like cornmeal or rice flour.
Salsa: Double check the ingredients of the salsa you choose to ensure it is free from gluten. Some store bought salsas may contain sources of gluten in the form of additives or thickeners. Alternatively making salsa at home with gluten ingredients is a great option.
