What is capsaicin? Capsaicin is the chemical compound that give peppers (Capsicum Genus, Nightshade Family) their varying degree of hotness. So green peppers, red peppers, and paprika all contain capsaicin.
Why avoid it? Because I have been blessed with a food, airborne, and skin allergy to this most interesting chemical. So this allergy means no taco seasoning, no salsa, no peppers, no guacamole (unless homemade), no taco sauce, and sometimes no refried beans (check the ingredient list on the can- avoid if peppers or spices listed).
So without further ado, here is my
Capasaicin Free Taco Salad recipe:
Layer #1: Taco chips
Layer #2: Refried beans with cooked hamburger
seasoned with garlic salt
Layer #3: Chopped romaine lettuce
Layer #4: Sour cream
Layer #5: Diced tomatoes
Layer #6: Shredded cheese
*Note: If taco chips become stale- place them on a cookie sheet, pop them into a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes to crisp them back up.
Enjoy!!!!!
