These Mexi-shells were just okay. The flavor was good, but the shells were a little too soft for my liking. I think I would prefer to use a hard taco shell next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Mexi-shells turned out really dry. The filling was bland and the shells were tough. I think I might have overcooked them.

These Mexi-shells were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred to use a mild salsa instead of a medium salsa. Other than that, they were delicious.

These Mexi-shells were delicious! I made them exactly as the recipe said and they turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. I think they would be even better with a little bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder
