I really thought I was going to like this. But for some reason I didn't. I like all of the ingredients...so you would think I would like them all together... I don't know...it could have something to do with me using Roasted Verde sauce. I didn't have any regular, so I just used that...maybe that's what ruined it for me. I'll be giving my parents the leftovers to see what they say...so far all of the dishes that I didn't like, they have loved.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
