This came out great so easy and delicious. Thought we would have leftovers, but everyone loved it. I only added 1/2 bottle as it was all I had and then added some cornstarch to thicken the sauce. Can’t wait to make it again. Served in tortilla shells with tomato, onion, slaw with ranch dressing.
Heidi says
I’m so glad to hear you all loved it, Michelle! I also love your idea for serving it tortilla shells with ranch, veggies and slaw… that sounds delicious! 🙂
