Not bad, but not great either. I think I would have preferred a different type of lettuce.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a more flavorful sauce.

These were easy to make and tasted great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out really well. I also added some shredded carrots and bean sprouts for extra crunch.
