Wow! This is very tasty. The Guacamole is what really highlights this dish. The meat is nice and tender with great flavor. But the Guacamole has a nice tang to it. The rice was ok, but a bit on the dry side and it really didn't stand out. Overall a great dish that will be made again. Thanks for posting!
