    Can substitute ground chicken, ground turkey, or roasted cauliflower for ground beef.

    This is one of our family's favorite recipes from this cookbook. I see others saying their tacos didn't turn out as crispy as they expected, but I always add extra time to mine (I bake them 25-30 minutes total) and flip them half way through, and they're perfect. Another tip is to microwave your tortillas six at a time for 45 seconds in a slightly damp paper towel so they're more pliable for folding. This will prevent them from cracking and falling apart so easily.

    Flavorful filling, but the corn tortillas didn’t crisp up anything like the photos from the book.

    Made these with soft white corn tortillas. Didn't make the Creamy Poblano Sauce as my avocados weren't quite ripe enough yet. Instead made pico de gallo which worked well. We really like these. I will increase the cheese amount next time and make the suggested sauce.

    I made my own taco shells and served these with Creamy Poblano Sauce as suggested in the recipe. The heat was too intense for me (and I love hot/spicy food). Maybe the poblanos I used were exceptionally spicy. I had to add some greek yogurt to the sauce to tone it down, but even then it was too much. I would give this another shot, but next time omit the poblano from the beef mixture. I also feel like this would have benefited from a fresh element - maybe top them with some lettuce as shown in the book.

    Made with soft corn tortillas as directed, but the tortillas did not want to lay flat, so had to pin them shut with toothpicks (about half of them busted open on the fold - maybe my tortillas were old?). The filling was great! A bit too spicy for the kids, but my husband and I enjoyed

    Made with soft corn tortillas and seasoning salt as directed, but used black beans instead of beef. They were difficult to eat with hands, so we ate them with a fork. They were more like a quesadilla. Very tasty and interesting for our weekly Taco Tuesday.
