This recipe is so easy and so good. My picky family LOVES it - just made it again and my daughter literally ate eight tacos in one sitting (street tacos, but still EIGHT!). The flavor is spot on and we absolutely love it with a squeeze of lime and some crema. I added a bit of cabbage, avocado, salsa, and cheese for a perfect dinner. Thank you, Mealthy, for a total quick-and-easy winner of a meal!
