These are really good! I didn't change a thing, but I will add just a bit more garlic next time. :)

I tried this on a whim. I like Chinese food...the hubby hates Chinese food. After looking concerned with the slaw mix (he doesn't like cabbage either,) he hesitantly bit into it...a few mouthfuls later he was like "this is good, keep this one"....I reminded him he was eating Chinese food in a burrito, he grunted...lol... I thought this was yummy. I added a little less of the hoison sauce per the reviews, and a bit of soy sauce at the finish for the salt factor. Two of us polished off at least four servings. It's a keeper!!!

Sorry- we really wanted to love these. I like everything that went into these but we thought they were way too sweet. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I didn't use the oil to cook my ground beef. I also didn't add the extra hoisin sauce to the tortillas. Maybe if we cut back a lot on the hoisin sauce or add something else to them.

Very tasty and quick to put together. The only thing I would change when making again is the amount of Hoisin sauce. We like it, but felt it was a little overpowering.
