“We are OBSESSED! These are a huge hit for the whole family. Your taco slaw is so good I could eat it for breakfast. I don’t know how I stumbled across your blog but everything I’ve tried from you is top notch and I keep coming back. Thanks, Nagi! Quick q” — a cook, 5.0★

“This is the second time we have had these. My family all love it. The crumb is super crunchy and I had soft and hard tacos so the kids could pick which they liked. I had 600g of tenderloins and that worked fine, still had enough crumbs without changing the rec” — a cook, 5.0★
