Really tasty but the chimichurri had way too much shallot for my taste. I had to nearly double the other ingredients to get to something that didn’t make my eyes water!

Tasted great. I put the jalapeños on the side as I have an 8 year old who doesn’t like spicy things. He loved the salsa just with corn/beans/lime juice/seasoning and the family spice lovers could still enjoy the jalapeños that way. Recommend this one for sure!
0 HelpfulVery tasty! For the chimichurri, we didn't use capers and greatly reduced the oil. Didn't use jalapeños in the salsa.
0 HelpfulI enjoyed these tacos. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the salsa, which I found to be pretty bland. The meal did taste good with all of the elements put together though.
0 HelpfulThis was absolutely delicious! The first night we had tacos and the second we made salads. Both versions were soooo good 😋
0 HelpfulThis was so incredibly delicious, although it did take me quite a while to prepare, especially compared to the estimate.
