Beef Tinga Tacos
It was ok. Would have rather had cheese instead of the cabbage. Never had cabbage on a taco. I added cheese. Also had to take every ingredient other than meat out of the package before heating.

Pork Al Pastor Tacos
Great dish. Could maybe use something as a side (avocado?) but overall, really good.
