There is something wonderful about pairing colourful vegetables with meat and spreading them as a burrito bowl. Bay’s Kitchen have enabled low FODMAPPERs to enjoy the wonders and comfort of Mexican foods with their new Spicy Mexican stir-in sauce.
These spicy Mexican burrito bowls are full of flavour and a plethora of vegetables. They are the ultimate low FODMAP comfort food – combining warming flavours with the convenience of minimal prep time.
In typical burrito bowls, you’ll often see garlic and onions cooked in with the meat and high FODMAP beans such as kidney beans or chickpeas as one of the components. We’ve made this recipe completely FODMAP Friendly by replacing the beans with another source of protein through the lean beef. The flavour that is subtracted with the absence of garlic and onions is added tenfold with the addition of the Spicy Mexican stir-in sauce. Also, the spice is added in amounts that will not cause digestive upset.
In the UK, Bay’s Kitchen are known for a diverse range of stir-in sauces so that people with digestive troubles can still enjoy their favourite comfort meals. Their products are onion and garlic free, with no other high FODMAP ingredients. They are also gluten free certified as well as being suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The Spicy Mexican stir-in sauce is perfect for burrito bowls, nachos, tacos, enchiladas and fajitas.
