it was 1/2 Tablespoon of Cumin(hehe CUM) not a whole one
anyways, the only reason im making this food is because i got some the stuff at a reduced price(like i got the meat at 8 dollars, it was past expiration in store, honestly a steal tho, plus i live in farm country so certain things like beef is lil cheaper)
I do not like the price i paid for peppers tho(a dollar per pepper[AND THAT WAS REDUCED TOO] smh they are green tho so they should last a bit, its not as bad as the price of cucumbers and zucchinis now paying 2 dollars a pound which is essentially paying 2 dollars for each one)
