Best Mexican Food around if you eat here it will ruin eating anywhere else you will definitely want to go back.
They look great! But with something bursting with flavor like that, have you thought of repurposing the portions not used? Try egg &/or flour as a bonding agent. Then drop them for a hot swim till golden brown. Can be served as an app if you add a sauce or dip. Or as an extra side. Just a suggestion. Less waste. More money.
Good luck with your endeavors. Be blessed.
No, we never have any left overs.
Tried them out and they are delicious
