Gluten-Free Fajitas for Family Gatherings – Shared Meal, SIBO-Friendly

Family gatherings can be tricky when someone needs to eat gluten-free or manage SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). Often people end up with a separate dish, which can feel isolating. These gluten-free fajitas let everyone eat the same meal by setting up a fajita station where each person assembles their own wraps — simple, inclusive, and digestive-friendly.

Why These Fajitas Work for SIBO & Family Meals
  • They use gluten-free (sin TACC) tortillas or wraps as the base.

  • Everyone builds their own fajita, avoiding separate “special” dishes.

  • Ingredients are kept simple and easy to digest for those with SIBO.

  • Works great for adults and kids alike at parties or gatherings.

Base & Wraps
  • Gluten-free fajitas / wraps (made from rice, corn, or cassava).

  • Homemade gluten-free tortillas are also a great option if preferred.

SIBO Tip: Avoid wraps with added fibers like inulin or high-FODMAP additives.

Protein Options
  • Grilled or cooked chicken

  • Hard-boiled or scrambled eggs

  • Cooked ham certified gluten-free

These provide balanced protein without heavy fermentation triggers.

Vegetables & Toppings (SIBO-Friendly)
  • Boiled or roasted potato cubes

  • Peeled and seedless tomato

  • Sliced avocado (in moderate portions)

  • Grated carrot

  • Soft leafy greens

All served in separate bowls so guests choose what suits them.

Simple Dressings & Condiments
  • Olive oil

  • Salt

  • A squeeze of lemon juice (optional)

Keep seasonings minimal and avoid industrial sauces, raw garlic, raw onion, and gluten-hidden dressings.

How to Serve
  1. Warm the gluten-free fajitas or wraps and place them in a basket.

  2. Arrange all fillings and toppings in separate bowls.

  3. Let each person build their own fajita like a burrito.

  4. Eat together — no one has to feel different or separate.

Tips for a Smooth Family Meal
  • Don’t label the dish as “special diet” — present it as part of the main spread.

  • Keep ingredients familiar and recognizable to everyone.

  • Simple, fresh foods make it easier on digestion and more enjoyable for guests.
