I made this last night. It was good, but not great. I just think it needs to be tweaked with the seasoning a little bit. I may just try a spicier taco seasoning or a homemade one. Straightforward to put together and adding guacamole on top is a nice finish. Just needs a little bit more bite. The family liked it and I will definitely make again.
