This is just too lazy for such a famouns dish. Mexican dishes deserve and need fresh ingredients. Go authentico! This is good for children or teenagers who want to cook for their friends. I love the time spent to make a dish like this. This is just too lazy.

I think these are delicious and very easy to make. My daughter and I made them for father's day last year and they went over very well.
