A few years back, Trader Joe's came out with mini chicken and mini beef tacos that replaced a long time fan favorite. The supplier had to have changed, because they were a disaster of epic proportions. (Ok, that may be a little over the top...but they weren't good. At all.) Now, TJ's is back with…
When it comes to guacamole, I'm more of a classic gal. I like it on the chunkier side with onion, garlic, and lime. So I went in expecting Trader Joe's Spicy Mango Habanero Guacamole to be too sweet. You know how Trader Joe's can be. But it's not. It's got a nice fruitiness to it…
Let's start here. Yes, I have made mole, so I get how many ingredients and how much effort goes into it. So it's no surprise that a lot of people just default to the Doña Maria jar. And now, Trader Joe's is serving up a microwavable version for $7.99 that's almost even easier. You don't…
For those of us who were fans of Trader Joe's Enchilada Sauce, some tears were shed when it was discontinued some months back. Ok, tears may be a little extreme. But it was a bummer! So I grabbed a couple bottles before it was gone-gone. The replacement hit stores this week.

And the Beef Ones Too
You know that meme of the guy eating a Popeye's Cheddar Biscuit and he says, "My disappointment is immeasurable. And my day is ruined." It me. We tried Trader Joe's Mini Chicken Tacos (and the beef ones, too) and man. It me.

This is as close as I've been able to get to the meat burrito from Tito's in Culver City, California. I've had it written down in an old personal cookbook for more than a decade. I think it was originally on some listserv or other. Not sure who credit goes to...but it's delicious!

Trader Joe's added a new Mexican-inspired entree to its freezer section with the arrival of Trader Joe's Chicken Chilaquiles Rojo ($4.99). Although you can't throw this one in the microwave, it cooks on the stovetop in about 10 minutes.

A taco bar is usually a go-to for Cinco de Mayo, but with some questions lingering around romaine lettuce from Yuma, Arizona, crunchy gringo tacos piled with lettuce and cheddar cheese probably aren't the way to go this year. We've got five other delicious Cinco de Mayo recipes to enjoy on the day commemorating Mexico's…
The spice profile in Mexican chorizo makes it a love-it or hate-it proposition. While I love the the zing of vinegar with chiles, paprika, cinnamon and cumin, my husband would just as soon not. You can mix the chile paste mixture into ground pork or turkey, and as I discovered last week, you can (and you…
Set it and forget it. That's the supposed magic of the slow cooker. Dump a bunch of ingredients into it and come back eight hours later to fall apart pulled pork or a potato soup that's been simmering away all day. And while the convenience factor is high, the real truth is, not everything benefits…
