    Is Mexican Pizza Gluten Free?

    Mexican pizza is not typically gluten-free, as it usually contains a wheat-based crust or tortilla. However, some restaurants or homemade versions may offer gluten-free alternatives using corn tortillas or other gluten-free bases, so it’s always best to check the specific ingredients or ask the restaurant if you require a gluten-free option.

    What is Tolerase® G?

    A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
    Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

     

    Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

    In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

    This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

    On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

    What is Gluten?

    Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

    How Tolerase® G Works

    It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

    Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

    Gluten Free Alternatives
    Here are five gluten-free alternatives to Mexican Pizza, along with short descriptions:
    Corn Tortilla Mexican Tostadas - Crispy corn tortillas serve as the base for this dish, topped with refried beans, meat, cheese, lettuce, and other Mexican-inspired toppings. Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and provide a authentic Mexican flavor.
    Mexican-Style Stuffed Peppers - Bell peppers are halved and filled with a mixture of rice, beans, cheese, and seasoned meat, then baked until tender. This alternative provides a similar flavor profile to Mexican Pizza without the need for a crust.
    Zucchini Mexican Pizza Boats - Zucchini halves are hollowed out and filled with pizza sauce, cheese, and Mexican-inspired toppings before being baked. This low-carb option offers a fresh, vegetable-based alternative to traditional pizza crust.
    Polenta Mexican Pizza - Pre-cooked polenta (cornmeal) is sliced into rounds and used as a base for Mexican toppings. The polenta provides a gluten-free, corn-based foundation that becomes crispy when baked, offering a unique texture and flavor to the dish.

    Frequently
    Asked Questions

    Is there gluten in Taco Bell Mexican pizza?
    Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza does contain gluten. The gluten primarily comes from the crispy flour tortilla shells used as the base of the pizza. Additionally, some of the toppings and sauces may contain gluten or be processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing ingredients. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's best to avoid this menu item.
    Does Mexican pizza have flour?
    Mexican pizza typically uses a flour tortilla as its base. This flour tortilla is usually crispy and acts as the "crust" for the pizza. The use of flour in the tortilla distinguishes Mexican pizza from traditional Italian pizza, which uses a wheat flour dough. However, the toppings on a Mexican pizza often don't contain additional flour beyond what's in the tortilla base.
    Is Taco Bell gluten-free?
    Taco Bell is not entirely gluten-free. While they offer some gluten-free options, many of their menu items contain gluten. They have a dedicated page on their website listing items that do not contain gluten ingredients. However, Taco Bell cautions that cross-contamination may occur during food preparation, so they don't guarantee any item to be completely gluten-free.
    Is Mexican usually gluten-free?
    Mexican cuisine is not inherently gluten-free, but many traditional dishes can be naturally gluten-free or easily adapted. Staple ingredients like corn tortillas, beans, rice, and many vegetables are gluten-free. However, wheat flour is used in some Mexican dishes, such as flour tortillas and some sauces. It's important for those with gluten sensitivities to ask about ingredients and preparation methods when dining out at Mexican restaurants.
