FODMAP Notes
Uses only the green parts of scallions - the white bulb contains FODMAPs. Corn tortillas are low FODMAP. Garlic-infused oil provides flavor without the fructans. Aged Cheddar is very low in lactose.
Tips
- 💡 Let steak rest before slicing to retain juices
- 💡 Slice against the grain for tender strips
- 💡 Top with lactose-free sour cream or avocado
