[Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roti-with-thai-red-curry) recently launched a [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karl-jacobs-burrito) channel and it is a place where people can find out how to assemble charcuterie boards, make perfect movie theater popcorn and follow Indian burrito recipes. Trader Joe's Tikka Masala Burritos can be prepared from either the Vegan Tikka Masala or Chicken Tikka Masala products, which are made with a base of rice and sold in the store's frozen foods section.

While both of these frozen meals can be heated and eaten on their own, Trader Joe's created its Indian burrito recipes to show how versatile its products are. These [microwaveable masala meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasty-bite-butter-chickpea-vegetables) only need to be warmed up in the microwave and can be combined with flavorful extras like yogurt, cilantro, peas or chutney in a toasted tortilla shell.
