Notes
Sour cream - Mix sour cream with some lime juice, salt and a dash of water. The recipe is best with thighs. They are more fattier and almost impossible to overcook.Taco seasoning – We highly recommend our homemade seasoning recipe. If using store bought seasoning, then use about 1 to 2 tablespoons (depends on the salt).
