This was very good. I was skeptical that this was going to turn out even being edible. I ddin't find the concoction in any way appealing when I was putting it all together. Eveything mingled very well and I am glad that I tried it.

This was extremely good I don't know why someone said it had no flavor. Next time I will not put the olive brine in it.. for me it was too much but still very tasty ! Def will be making this again in soft tacos instead of over rice =D
