Reviews

The meat mixture is very plain, but the green sauce is what elevates this simple taco. It is tart from the tomatillos, creamy from the avacadoes, and has a lovely heat from the garlic & jalapenos (I used two seeded), and then the nice punch from the cilantro. My 3 yr old grandson was visiting when I made these. He ate two with added cheese & sour cream and no sauce. Made for ZWT4.
