I followed the recipe exactly, but my tacos didn't turn out as good as I expected. The chicken was a bit tough and the black beans were dry. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of chicken and cooked it for less time.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. The chicken was dry and the black beans were mushy. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.
