Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

“This recipe is so easy to put together and it is delicious,” raves Sharon Madden. “My husband really liked it too. We had this as a side with our tacos on taco night and there was nothing left when we were done.”

“This was excellent,” according to sport1girl. “I used all the lime juice listed in the recipe and thought it enhanced it but wasn't overpowering. I had a bunch of fresh cilantro and threw that in.”

“I have made this more than once,” says Jacquelyn. “Sometimes I add a little hot sauce to it, but most of the time I just like it the way it's written. I often use it as a "spread" for sandwiches. Very fresh, and yummy!”
