+I was skeptical of this recipe and even nearly added some things to spice it up, but I am glad that I didn't. These are the best tacos I ever had and the entire family loves them.

+OH MY GOODNESS! I typically cook my traditional tacos making everything from scratch down to the FRIED shells as I want everything to taste amazing but; THIS receipe was just INCREDIBLE! My family gobbled them right up. Think I've found a healthy replacement to FRIED.
