I found it too spicy, maybe less jalapeño next time. Overall okay.
Super easy recipe! I made it for my dinner party, and everyone wanted the recipe!
Didn’t have chicken, used tofu instead. Still came out great! Veggie version!
Absolutely delicious! My family loved it. The flavors were spot on.
Where’s the tortilla? I thought it was like, chunks or something. Not just strips. Kinda disappointed.
This was bad. Tasted weird with all the cumin. I won’t make again.
