Trader Joe's Chicken Burrito Bowl

I always like picking up single-serve frozen entrees when I shop at Trader Joe’s, which is a cousin to Aldi. Whether I’m in the mood for Indian, Thai, Mexican, or other types of food, the freeze aisle at TJ’s has plenty to choose from.

I recently bought a frozen chicken burrito bowl. The package describes this as “seasoned chicken breast with brown rice, black beans, red quinoa, cheddar cheese and corn with a Chipotle Southwest style sauce.”

The Trader Joe’s Chicken Burrito Bowl cost $3.49 for an 11.6-once package in 2026. That comes out to about 30 cents per ounce.

This is a product of Canada.
