Trader Joe’s has a large selection of Mexican foods, including frozen enchiladas, whole and refried beans, salsa, quacamole, tortillas, taco shells and tortilla chips.
The black bean & corn enchiladas (vegan) and the cheese enchiladas are identical to the Amy’s brand you’ll find in other stores, but at half the price (only $1.99) at Trader Joe’s.
Serve the enchiladas over a rice blend from the frozen case. The southwest salad adds some freshness as does some diced fresh avocado on the enchiladas.
Make yummy tostadas by baking corn tortillas until they get crispy. Top with refried black beans, fresh salsa, smashed avocado, sautéed canned corn, shredded cabbage and black olive slices – all from Trader Joe’s. A very tasty, fresh and filling, but not heavy, Mexican meal that is well worth the effort.
When you’re short on time, make a salad or nachos topped with your favorite combination of beans, corn, salsa, guacamole, olives and cheese.
