Can you use a packet of taco seasoning instead of all the separate spices, quicker and easier?
Jenna | The Urben Life says
Hi Ron, you sure can!
Kristin says
What a fabulous option to try in the place of or even alongside chips and salsa! Mexican dishes are some of my favorite food choices, and this appetizer is the perfect add-on to a meal!
Jenna | The Urben Life says
Totally 🙂 I hope you loved it!
Annette says
does it matter the type of oil? We never use avocado oil... so would any oil be fine? Cause otherwise the recipe looks quite doable.
Jenna | The Urben Life says
Olive oil would be great too 🙂
