Tacos can be eaten on a gluten-free diet. However, some taco shells are not gluten-free and should therefore be avoided.

Tacos have fat, but the ingredients used and preparation made them much healthier than other food options. I highly recommend making your own or purchasing a gluten-free taco seasoning until you can make your own from scratch.
