Episode 112: Time for Tacos at Trader Joe's (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere along the line, Taco Tuesday became a thing. And while we're all about alliteration (apparently), we feel it's important to point out that tacos are delicious every single day of every single week. This is especially true if you employ one of the absolutely-made-for-tacos marinated meats you'll find in the refrigerated case at your neighborhood Trader Joe's – Carne Asada Ranchera, Pollo Asado Chicken Thighs, or Al Pastor Diced Pork.

This year, we received submissions from stores across the country, and we were stunned by both the quantity and the quality of the recipes – sweet, savory, and spicy recipes you could serve for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert.
