I'm afraid we didn't really like these. They were time-consuming to make and the finished product was really greasy. They took several minutes longer to bake than stated in the recipe (I didn't keep track), but I did get just about 48. The flavor was ok (I hesitated to add the extra taco seasoning to the meat, but it wasn't too much at all), but all that grease kind of overshadowed it.
