Pretty good recipe except the seasoning is so sparse, you can barely taste it, I plan to double next time.
Yes, I try to keep seasonings moderate. Some folks like a ton of seasoning and some barely any at all. I like mine extra spiced up too 🙂
Loved it – making this again
Absolutely amazing!! I put it on tostadas and it was to die for. A favorite from now on for sure!! 😍
