I have to read each and every label to see what is in there. Both packages
turned out not to look anything like the picture but in entirely different
ways. I have bought the Barbacoa at Costco but it didn't look or taste
anything like this. I believe they also sell Chicken Tinga but I'm not sure
I would buy it after this experience.

And no of course I don't have the receipt. And I can't take back something
that someone has eaten. Nor would I bother to take stuff like this back. I
paid...what...I dunno...maybe $6-7 for two packages? QFC is not a store
that I go to often. And I hate it when people take things back for what I
think are frivolous reasons. Certainly if something is spoiled or broken,
that would be a real reason. But just because you don't like something?
You do that a few times and you'll find yourself being blacklisted by the
store.

And why can't I complain here? You do! Lots of people do.
