Top GMO-Free Bone Broth Taco Combos for Gut Health

Why GMO-Free Bone Broth Transforms Your Tacos

Building bone broth into your taco night adds more than flavor. You're bringing collagen-rich nutrition and gut-friendly hydration that turns a simple meal into something restorative. Bone broth delivers deep umami, tender protein, and a silky mouthfeel without the digestive drama.

The Gut-Friendly Power of Bone Broth in Tacos

Bone broth is simmered for hours to extract collagen, amino acids like glycine and proline, and minerals that support gut lining integrity. For anyone managing IBS or digestive sensitivity, these compounds may help soothe inflammation. Using bone broth to braise taco fillings or simmer sauces infuses each bite with a nourishing base that's gentle on your system.

What Makes Gourmend Different

We started Gourmend Foods after I spent years struggling with IBS and couldn't find broths that delivered gourmet flavor without the digestive fallout. Our bone broths begin with organic, grass-fed beef bones or free-range chicken bones--never any GMO ingredients, antibiotics, or hormones.

Here's what we skip: onion and garlic bulbs entirely. Instead, we rely on scallion green tops, chives, and leek green tops for aromatic depth. Oyster mushrooms and nori deliver umami without common trigger ingredients. Each shelf-stable carton is Low FODMAP certified, gluten-free, and free from fillers, yeast extract, and maltodextrin. As a certified B Corp, we source every ingredient from U.S. farms because personal health and planetary health connect.

Building Flavor Without Bloat

Traditional taco recipes lean heavily on onion and garlic--two common high FODMAP triggers. We swap those for garlic chives and leek green tops to keep the savory backbone while staying gut-friendly. Pair your Gourmend bone broth with fresh cilantro, lime juice, diced tomatoes, and lactose-free cheese for bold flavor without the aftermath. And if you want extra crunch, grab our Garlic Scape Sourdough Crackers.

Step-by-Step: Build Your Own Bone Broth Taco

Start with Your Protein

Pick ground beef, shredded chicken thighs, or flaked white fish. Brown the protein in a skillet, then add about half a cup of Gourmend Beef or Chicken Bone Broth. Simmer until the liquid reduces and the meat absorbs the flavor. Season with cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano.

For plant-based options? Sauté mushrooms or jackfruit with Gourmend Vegetable Broth until they're tender and ready to shred.

Layer on Bold, Gut-Friendly Toppings

Skip the onion and garlic bulbs. Use chives, scallion green tops, and leek green tops instead. Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce add brightness. Lactose-free sour cream or mashed avocado adds creaminess without the bloat.

Want heat? Try jalapeño slices with seeds removed or a dash of cayenne. Crumbled queso fresco or aged cheddar in small portions keeps things low FODMAP while bringing plenty of flavor.

Tortilla and Assembly Tips

Corn tortillas are naturally gluten-free and often low FODMAP. Warm them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side to bring out their flavor and reduce cracking. Layer fillings with protein first, then toppings, finishing with lime and herbs. Serve immediately to keep the best texture.

If you're meal-prepping, store components separately and assemble just before eating. That keeps tortillas from getting soggy.

Where to Stock Up on Gourmend Bone Broth

Pairing Tips and Ordering

The Bone Broth Sampler Bundle includes three chicken bone broths and three beef bone broths for $54.00. That gives you flexibility to experiment with different taco combos.

Use chicken broth for lighter proteins like fish or poultry. Reach for beef broth when you're working with heartier fillings like brisket or mushrooms. Each shelf-stable carton is ready to pour whether you're braising, simmering, or deglazing.

Taco Night FAQs: Bone Broth, Low FODMAP, and Beyond

Is Bone Broth Always Low FODMAP?

Not all bone broths are low FODMAP. Many brands add onion powder, garlic, or high FODMAP vegetables during simmering. Gourmend bone broths are formulated without onion or garlic bulbs, using scallion green tops and leek green tops instead. Always check labels for Low FODMAP certification to keep your tacos gut-friendly.

What Are the Best Substitutes for Common Taco Triggers?

Replace onion with chives or leek green tops. Swap garlic with garlic chives or a pinch of asafoetida powder. Use lactose-free cheese or nutritional yeast instead of regular dairy. For heat, jalapeños with seeds removed and cayenne work in small amounts. Fresh cilantro, lime juice, and diced tomatoes add brightness without triggering digestive upset.

How Do I Store and Reheat for Busy Weeknights?

Store cooked taco fillings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of Gourmend bone broth to restore moisture. Keep tortillas and toppings separate until assembly to prevent sogginess. You can freeze braised proteins in broth for up to three months--just thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Picking Your Next Taco Night Combo

If you're deciding where to start, pick one protein--chicken thighs, brisket, fish, or mushrooms--braise or deglaze with Gourmend bone broth, then keep toppings simple and low FODMAP. That approach makes it easy to rotate through different combos without overthinking dinner.
