Naturally Gluten Free: I use corn tortillas, add in the leftover BBQ Chicken, shredded carrots, cabbage, red onion, avocado, and I top these with a little salsa and a drizzle of BBQ sauce. So, these are naturally gluten free because I use corn tortillas. But, you can use flour tortillas if you prefer as well.
