Too many potatoes. The green sauce was wonderful. I did add one more avocado, coursely chopped to add some "chunk". I agree with a previous reviewer who said this would be easier to do with a food processor, which I currently do not have...sadly. I did add salt to the green sauce, to taste. I did put shredded cheese on the tacos as well. We really enjoyed these tacos.

Wonderful recipe. I kept the ratio of potato to meat the same since I prefer less meat. The green sauce was wonderful with the taco, in particular paired with the corn tortilla. Only thing I added was a little cumin to the meat and potato. Will make this dish again, my family LOVED it.

I just made the tomatillo/avocado mixture, but it was great!

I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviews, as written there were way to many potatos, could have used more spice, and the sauce was just like guacamole. I seriously doubt I'll make this again, there are beeter reicpes out there.

These were really good. As others suggested, I cut down on the potatoes; I only used one. The tomatillo guacomole is an outstanding combination with the homey potato/onion/hamburger filling. I was too cheap to buy 3 avocados; I only used one and the ratio with the other ingredients was great. I did not use a blender for the sauce, just finely chopped everything. Really good. Thank you!

First and most importantly, make it with 2-3 potatoes. 5 is WAY too much. You end up with a potato filling with only a hint of meat. Secondly, use a food processer for making the sauce. A blender is too hard to use for this thick of a sauce.

Really good! All it promised-- quiet flavors of the meat and potatoes with the unique zing of the green sauce. Definitely not your same old tired Mexican flavors, will certainly make again. Ate something similar at a Yucatan Restaurant- recipe for the person looking for unique flavor experience.

The avocado sauce was great, but the recipe called for too many potatoes.

I boiled the potatoes a little too long so it turned out more like mashed potatoes with meat mixed in, but still good! Did not serve as tacos since there is enough starch in the potatoes. Sauce is definitely a keeper!

This was very simple to make and very good. I think next time I'll add a little more seasoning to the meat to give it an extra kick.

taco mixture was okay but the sauce had zero flavor. My husband said the same thing. Will not make again.

Tasted great, was quick and easy to make. The sauce is wonderful. We added some jalapeno slices from a jar for a little extra heat, but it was great without the tinkering. Will add some extra tomatillos next time for the tartness. Husband really loved it.
