Made these last night for dinner when meeting my daughter's boyfriend the first time. Good flavors, I left out the tomato from the tacos and made Pico de Gallo to add later, which every one did. I will make this again, but use fresh pinapple and mango in the salsa, and more garlic in the taco. I also don't feel the cheese is needed, so didn't even offer it, no one asked for it!Reply
