I enjoy many different cuisines and Mexican is among my favourites. If you eat low Fodmap, you do have to watch out for some of their ingredients like legumes and too much dairy but it is still possible to get the richness of the Mexican food while staying true to the low Fodmap diet. It’s not hard to find gluten-free tortillas which are suitable for us these days, and cottage cheese and mature cheese are on the permitted lists as long as we don’t overindulge. This is an easy, delicious dish which wouldn’t go amiss even for guests and it seriously took me about ten minutes to put together. Oh, and it’s vegetarian.

Love Mexican food! So much flavor, and so much variety. This is a wonderful dish — thanks.
It is all about flavour at the end of the day and Mexican food has it in spades.
Being originally from Texas, I grew up eating a lot of Mexican food. Your quesadillas would certainly make me happy.
There are certain cuisines that produce happy food and Mexican is certainly one of them.
Hi, I thought that we could only have fresh corn (1/2 a cob or 1/4 cup), but canned corn was high fodmap?
We can have a small amount and if you divide 1/2 a can of corn into four, you would be at the right amount.
