Bearitos' Taco Shells AKA Little Bear Taco Shells - Gluten Free Food

Even before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I had trouble digesting food, so it has been just over six years since I had a taco. If you don't like tacos you will not be impressed with the length of time; however before I had trouble eating anything but potatoes, I ate tacos at least twice a week. I love Mexican food and I would have eaten tacos more often, but I switched out with burritos, nachos, enchiladas, and quesadillas.

Once I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I went on a gluten free diet and found that I could eat Mexican food again. So I checked out the local restaurants to see if their food was gluten free - none of them had gluten free food. So I've been living a deprived life until I spotted Bearitos taco shells on Amazon.com. If you have shopped on Amazon.com then you know you have to buy in bulk; Bearitos Taco Shells sell for $25.66. Since it is over $25 the shipping free is free. I didn't read the fine print to see how many taco shells I would be getting so I was surprised when the package arrived and there were 12 boxes that held 12 tacos each in them. This is nearly a years' supply for me, so I've been inviting anybody who comes to my house to have tacos.

The box arrived 8 days ago, and I've already eaten tacos five times. I'm so happy with the taste and quality of Little Bear taco shells. The shells are thinner than I remember taco shells being and they are so crispy and crunchy. These are high quality taco shells that could easily rival anything found in a top notch Mexican restaurant. I had to wait until now to write about them because I pretty much inhaled the tacos the first three or four times I ate them and couldn't really tell you what they tasted like. I'm having tacos again for supper tonight, I can't wait.

Bearitos or Little Bear's taco shells are easy to fix. Just heat them for 5 minutes at 350 degrees fahrenheit then load them up with your favorite toppings. I put a layer of ground chuck, then shredded lettuce, followed by diced tomatoes and topped with cheddar flavor Veggie Shreds, an alternative to cheese. The link to my review of the Veggie Shreds is at the bottom of this review. I poured salsa over the top of the ingredients and I had one of the best tacos I have ever eaten in my life.

I highly recommend Bearitos' taco shells.
