Reviews
This is an interesting recipe. My hubby liked it more than I did, probably because I thought the texture was just a little different than what I am used to. It was all eaten up, so I can’t complain at all! I made half of what was called for, following the recipe otherwise. I did add a touch of Tajin to the finished product. I would make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
