Tip

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.

It lacked something. It tasted flat. The taco sauce was Medium, maybe I should have used a Hot sauce because I kept applying a taco sauce with each bite to make it palatable.
