If you aren't using store bought pita or tortilla, then make your homemade gluten free no yeast pita bread or gluten free soft flour tortillas for tacos or gluten free chickpea pancakes - Vegan. I just leave out the vegetables on the chickpea pancakes and make them thinner by adding more water and they are a perfect wrap or soft taco.
Put out bowls of ingredients and toppings to go on the tacos and everyone will be thrilled.
