A light and healthy recipe! Low FODMAP Mexican lettuce wraps with minced meat, vegetables and grated cheese. Gluten-free and lactose-free.

- 1 bell pepper, deseeded and diced*
- Grated cheese, to taste

Notes
*Note: in 2022 the low FODMAP quantities for bell pepper and tomato have been adjusted. Red bell pepper and tomato are both high in fructose in larger quantities and are therefore no longer so easy to combine. If you are still in the elimination phase or know that you do not tolerate fructose well, I recommend omitting the bell pepper in this recipe and using only tomato (up to a maximum of 65 grams per person).
