Green Chile Chicken Wraps

Trader Joe's and Hatch Chile Chicken Wraps are Spicy and Cheesy

If you're looking for something flavorful that you can eat on the go, Trader Joe's new Hatch Chile Chicken Wraps are the perfect option.

Trader Joe's new Hatch Chile Chicken Wraps are a frozen meal, that doesn't taste like your average frozen food. The new dish is a clever cross between a burrito and quesadilla, as it's made up of an easy-to-handle, hexagonally-folded tortilla. Inside the tortilla, you'll find "a portable pocket of delectable grilled chicken, savory black beans, melty mozzarella and Monterey jack cheeses, and fiery hatch chile and jalapeño." Best of all, this meal requires almost zero cook time. Simply pop it in the microwave or oven, or grill it on a skillet after defrosting.
