Method

I tried substituting the celery for the onion so I fried it off in olive oil with a little garlic before adding the tinned tomatoes. The potatoes, sweet potato and butternut were chopped, steamed and added to the sauce. The broccoli and cauliflower were also steamed before being added. I used corn that I had cut off the cob because it was on special but tinned corn could also be used. All other ingredients were either directly into the sauce. Remember to make sure everything is chopped relatively small so it cooks through faster and fits into the wrap easily. Note that I've indicated a couple of ingredients that do not cater to all requirements but they are options or alternatives.

Notes

  • Don't use tobasco sauce, it contains wheat.
  • All taco sauces I could find contained onion and/or wheat.
  • Check the ingredients on your spices, sometimes they contain wheat.

  1. Generally when I cook Mexican in bulk, I just use cumin (with or without chilli) for flavouring. You don't need taco packet mix flavours.. its just cumin and salt and onion powder. Cumin still gives heaps of flavour, and you don't need onion :)
