SO HOW'D IT GO?
Perhaps I did something wrong, but the bean mix had way too much liquid left in it after preparation, resulting in really runny tacos. The flavor was pretty decent, though it could've used some more spices. Not sure which, though -- I'm new to this stuff. If I do it again, maybe I'll use more cumin.
