Trader Joe's Chicken Chile Verde Burritos


More Mexican food! How can you go wrong with comida Mexicana? We've seen our share of tasty Mexican dishes...as well as a good number of epic fails. This is a new-ish frozen product, so we had to pick it up and give it the classic WG@TJ's taste test.


Conventional oven, air fryer, and microwave instructions are given on the packaging. If you've been following us for any amount of time, you can probably guess which route we went. Air fryer, ftw! 

And our burritos came out great. The tortilla was nice and crispy and the filling was piping hot after 18 minutes or so at 400°F. I can't imagine the microwave working quite as well.

The chicken was finely shredded but there was still enough to sink your teeth into. It was fairly mushy, but it wasn't just a mush. Though I'd have preferred all white meat chicken, the overall quality was very good. 

The chile verde and seasoning blend made for a tasty flavor—not very spicy, but potent enough to keep us coming back for more. There was onion, tomatillo, garlic, jalapeño, and black pepper in the mix. While salsa or hot sauce wouldn't be out of the question, the flavor was adequate without it.

$3.99 for two good-sized burritos, found in the frozen section. Would buy again. Product of Mexico. Eight out of ten stars from Sonia. Eight and a half out of ten stars from me.



Bottom line: 8.25 out of 10.

  1. After reading your review I gave these a try.
    I think your receive summed it up pretty well. Unlike a lot of frozen burritos, I could actually see the meat.
    I think it’s a solid option and would probably buy them again for those times when I’m feeling to lazy to cook and want to just throw something into the air fryer.
