Trader Joe's is making its easier than ever to get your taco fix with its new Mini Beef Tacos.
Just as the name suggests, Trader Joe's new Mini Beef Tacos are teeny tiny tacos that make the perfect snack or appetizer. The dish starts with tiny corn tortillas that are filled with a savory mix of pulled beef and a roasted green salsa made form a blend of tomatillos, jalapeños, and green bell peppers. The tacos are then fried in soybean oil for a bit of crunch. Best of all, all you need to do is heat the tacos up in the microwave or oven and you're ready to enjoy. Trader Joe's even suggests throwing them in the air fryer to crisp them up even more.
