I'm giving this recipe 2 stars because it had potential, but it needs some serious tweaking.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was way too runny and the pasta was mushy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the pasta.

I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hot taco seasoning. I would recommend using a mild taco seasoning if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of Tex-Mex food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The queso and taco seasoning gave it a really nice flavor.
