I love it when the dietitians at LMI can take an old classic and make it just as good in a low allergen diet form. This recipe does that for one of my all time favorites, green bean casserole. As a bonus, you are getting two recipes in one. Use the first part of the recipe to make wheat-free onion rings as a delicious occasional side dish. They are really good on their own and simple to make.

Well, it’s that time of year again, where I enjoy turning on my oven to bake a good casserole! This dish is made with vegetables and very thin corn tortillas, so even though each serving contains 15 grams of carbohydrate, remember that most of that is very low glycemic impact vegetables and beans. Mmmm, delicious.
