Meatless Gluten-Free Meals

I love a quick meatless meal any night of the week.

While I am not a vegetarian, I really do prefer meatless meals myself. And by adding a few meatless meals to the week, you can cut back on your grocery spending along with doing something good for your health.

These quick meatless gluten-free meals are on the table in less than 30 minutes, making them easy weeknight options.

Easy Tostadas: These simple tostadas are a cross between a taco and a Mexican Pizza--and they are a huge hit with the kids!

Black Bean Tacos: When you need simple and affordable, these Baked Black Bean Tacos fit the bill and are ready in just 15 minutes----perfect for the busiest of nights!

Easy Lentil Tacos: These meatless tacos are hearty enough that even the carnivores devour them!

Sweet Potato Burritos

Hearty, earthy, and incredibly easy, these Sweet Potato Burritos are not only healthy but delicious.

Lentil Chili: Chili has a reputation for taking forever to cook. But this Vegetarian Lentil Chili comes together in 30 minutes! It is super easy to make, hearty, and packed with nutrients and fiber!

Easy Fried Rice: This simple veggie fried rice recipe makes a perfect side dish or vegetarian dinner, just be sure to use gluten-free soy sauce to keep this a gluten-free meal.

Easy Bean Burritos: These refried bean burritos are one of my stand-by easy recipes for busy nights. They are easy to make and can use canned refried beans or Instant Pot refried beans.

Easy Thai Noodles: Peanut Thai Noodles are made with a simple homemade Thai Peanut Sauce, tons of fresh veggies, and rice noodles, for a simple meal perfect for a weeknight that is light and fresh, and gluten-free thanks to the rice noodles.

Sweet Potato Chili: This hearty chili is packed with so many good things, no one will miss the meat!

Gluten-Free Meals with Seafood

These simple gluten-free, seafood recipes are on the table in less than 30 minutes but are still packed with flavor!

Easy Skillet Tilapia Veracruz: One pan, 20 minutes, and tons of flavor--this gluten-free recipe is a winner!

Avocado Tuna Salad: I hated tuna salad until I tried this bright and fresh version!

Pan-Seared Tilapia: The simple seasoning on this fish really makes this dish memorable.

Gluten-Free Meals with Beef

Ground beef is a busy weeknight's dream come true when it comes to a quick meal.  Ground beef cooks up in a short amount of time and can become the base of so many easy meals.

One of my favorite things to do with this recipe for Sloppy Joes and Taco Meat is to serve it up in lettuce wraps, baked sweet potatoes, or baked potatoes for a perfect gluten-free meal. And when I bake the potatoes in my Instant Pot, my dinner is still done starting to finish in 30 minutes.

Note: If you forget to thaw out your hamburger meat (I am guilty of this many times!!), check out my method for perfectly cooking frozen meat. 

Homemade Sloppy Joes: This recipe for Homemade Sloppy Joes is sweet, and savory, with a hint of spice from the fresh jalapeno, creating the perfect balance of savory flavors. These are SO much better than any Sloppy Joe made with canned sauce.

Taco Meat: This recipe is so easy, but a gluten-free staple! By making your own taco meat, you can leave the gluten behind but still have all the flavor!

Taco Salad: Taco Salad is often my go-to meal when serving dairy-free or gluten-free guests. Everyone loves it and customizes this taco salad to fit their needs. This gluten-free taco salad is made with taco meat, fresh veggies, and a creamy Tex Mex dressing.

Gluten-Free Meals with Pork

Pork is one meat I absolutely adore! I personally feel it has incredible flavor and is still lean and of course a great source of protein.

I tend to cook with a lot of pork loin which lends itself to slow-cooked meals like pork carnitas or apple pork roast. BUT pork chops or pork tenderloin are both great options for quick-cooking, gluten-free 30 minutes meals.

Instant Pot Pork Chops: These Instant Pot Pork Chops are made with rich, gluten-free mushroom gravy for a comforting dish! Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or rice to keep this meal gluten-free.

Skillet Pork Tenderloin: The flavors in this one-pot gluten-free meal are incredible! The pork tenderloin becomes tender and the cabbage is perfectly braised in a sweet and savory liquid.

Instant Pot Pork Tenderloin: Sweet potatoes, apples, and pork all cook together for a simple gluten-free meal packed with incredible flavor.

Gluten-Free Meals with Chicken

Chicken is probably the first protein people associate with easy 30-minute meals.

Chicken breast is so lean it cooks up in a matter of minutes. But also leftover rotisserie chicken is a quick 30-minute meal go-to--and when you start with a homemade rotisserie chicken, you can assure that your meal is gluten-free as well.

Barbecue Chicken Salad: This is one of my family's all-time favorites! This recipe is based on a popular restaurant's BBQ Chicken Salad--just this version leaves out the gluten!

Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken: I make a huge batch of this buffalo chicken for meal prep! It isis great served alone or used for tacos, pizza, or sandwiches.

Chicken Asparagus Stir Fry: While the recipe calls for asparagus, use any vegetable your family likes in this simple chicken stir fry.

Easy Orange Chicken: This Orange chicken is just the recipe you need to brighten up your day! Bright and fresh, and made in one pan--this orange chicken is simple, delicious, and picky eater-approved. Alternatively, you can prepare Instant Pot Orange Chicken for a delicious, hands-off 30-minute meal.

Honey Lemon Chicken Skillet: The ingredients are simple. The work is minimal. The results are incredible. Honey Lemon Chicken is one of my favorite ways to prepare chicken breasts on busy nights.

Stir-Fried Chicken and Bok Choy: This recipe always surprises people, because it is so simple to make, yet delicious. It is a great way to try out bok choy!

Instant Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken: Chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onions cook together in a sweet and sour sauce in the Instant Pot for a copycat version of Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken. This recipe is a favorite with the kids!

Instant Pot Chicken Breasts: This is the MOST versatile chicken recipe! Chicken breasts are steamed in seasoned pineapple juice and can be served plain or shredded to use in sandwiches, wraps, or a salad.

Skillet Chicken with Green Beans and Tomatoes: Filled with flavorful chicken and fresh vegetables, you will love this easy, low-carb, gluten-free, one-pan meal.

Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu: This gluten-free spin on chicken cordon bleu is as simple as it gets! Chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese are layered together and then baked in a Dijon wine sauce.

Southwest Chicken Salad: It is the lime dressing that seals the deal on this simple Tex Mex Chicken Salad.

Mexican Chicken Skillet: This one-pan meal seems almost too simple to be so good! Spicy chicken sausage is pan-fried with sweet potatoes and black beans for a spicy, healthy, skillet chicken meal. Feel free to use cubed chicken breasts or ground meat in place of the chicken sausage.

Instant Pot Chicken Tacos: This recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Tacos has to be one of my all-time favorite recipes. It is almost embarrassingly easy and everyone always loves it!
