Our Mascot, Lana
The family loved it and it was very filling. Macros are on point but our only recommendation would be to add some sort of spice to the meat to add flavor, it was just a little bland
Amazing recipe! I added some low sodium taco seasoning and it was fantastic!
Can you freeze it?
Yes, definitely!
