I was so excited about this, but I have to agree with the other reviewers who say it just tastes like pot roast. It did to me as well, and I couldn't detect any other flavor, despite using lots of my own taco seasoning plus a whole jalapeno as others had suggested. I like pot roast fine, but not so much in my burritos - so this didn't really work for us at all.
