I'll admit I'm mildly obsessed with Trader Joe's. I make the 25 minute trek every weekend to the closest outlet to get my fix. At one point I seriously considered starting a food blog dedicated to meals and meal hacks you can make with ingredients found at your local TJ's. I still may! But in the meantime, I have a go-to list of favorites that I regularly refer to for quick weeknight meals.
Everyone knows that Trader Joe's has a lot of frozen meals that are great in a pinch. But for my money the thing that's really game changing is that you can find a host of fresh and frozen pre-prepped ingredients that can serve as a short cut to creating your own homemade meals in minutes.
Today's recipe is a great example of one such meal. Sure you could steam the rice, grill the chicken, and fire-roast the corn yourself.... OR you could buy them pre-made at Trader Joes and just assemble the ingredients into a delicious, quick, and easy weeknight meal or take-along lunch. Seriously it doesn't get much easier and more delicious than this folks.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup Trader Joe's frozen brown rice
1/2 cup Trader Joe's fresh (or frozen) grilled chicken - or sub rotisserie chicken
1/3 cup Trader Joe's frozen fire roasted corn
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup diced avocado
1/4 cup diced tomato
cilantro (to taste)
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp greek yogurt or mayo
1/4 tsp cumin

We all like the idea of making our families healthy meals, saving money and doing our part to cut down on waste.
But we also like the idea of getting a good night’s sleep, not having a huge mess to clean up in the kitchen after dinner and — just maybe — having time to watch a bit of Netflix or read a book.
