5 No-Chop Trader Joe’s Dinners for Busy Weeknights

2 boxes black beans

about 2 cups frozen roasted corn

Frozen rice, enough for 4 servings

1 bag Coleslaw Mix

Salsa

2 avocados

Taco Masala

olive oil

Optional: grated cheese or Greek yogurt

Method: Preheat oven to 425°F. Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to a parchment-lined sheet pan with the frozen roasted corn. Drizzle with olive oil, add taco seasoning and toss to coat. Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions.

Divide rice among bowls and top with roasted black beans and corn, coleslaw mixture, salsa and straight-from-the-skin avocado. Finish with shredded cheese or Greek yogurt, if using.

No-Chop Shortcuts: Canned beans + frozen corn and rice + pre-chopped slaw + prepared salsa + spoon-scooped avocado.

Total Cost: about $16.50
cost per service (4 servings total): about $4.10
