Review: I picked this out for the week on a whim. As I picked recipes to make each night, I grew worried about this one, as I looked at the ingredients and thought "what was I thinking? this is going to be so gross." But, it was an easy recipe to make tonight and I decided I could always run to Taco John's if it was indeed gross. But, surprise, this was amazingly delicious. It was really surprising how yummy this was. There was not the sweet taste that I expected, but instead a nice balance of savory flavors. I think everyone should try this recipe!
