Taste Note: Tastes AWESOME.
Note: Sour cream, salsa, refried beans, spanish rice, jackfruit taco filling and taco, all together took me 3 and 1/2 hours to make it from scratch, it took us just 20 minutes to eat. Its totally worth the effort to prepare it, its so much better the one I eat in restaurant.
