I'm giving this recipe 1 star because it's the lowest rating I can give. It was that bad.

These tacos were a complete disaster. The chicken was overcooked and the tortillas were soggy.

I wasn't a fan of the salsa that came with these tacos. I ended up using my own salsa instead.

I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I think I'll try marinating it for longer next time.

The chicken in these tacos is so flavorful and juicy. I marinated it for a few hours before cooking and it made all the difference.

These chicken tacos were a hit at my last party! The flavors were amazing and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making them again.
