I wanted to show you a super simple/quick recipe with some of my favorite Trader Joe’s staples. Since the guys in my life are serious taco lovers, I usually have TJ’s carnitas in our fridge for those nights where I need to make something fast. They’re pre-cooked and I usually just cut them up in chunks and heat in a sauté pan. Some nights I microwave it…in a bowl with a paper towel covering it. I always have a jar of TJ’s salsa verde and at least 3 cans of their black beans in the pantry. There’s always shredded cheese and cilantro in the fridge. We always have salsa for those happy hour snacks and if we don’t have sour cream, there’s Greek yogurt to fill the void. Let’s be real. It doesn’t quite fill the void. Maybe in baking, but not on tacos.
Let’s go a step further. Let’s make something kinda fancy out of our staples. Let’s make something super filling….something that you can put toppings on because WHO DOESN’T LOVE TOPPINGS?!
I made this Pork Enchilada Lasagna by layering corn tortillas with salsa verde, cheese, pulled pork and black beans. It’s soft. It’s crunchy. It’s cheesy and it’s DANG GOOD. You spoon it out into bowls and put your favorite toppings on top. We’re definitely going to be eating this a lot this winter. I’m going to throw some roasted vegetables into our next batch for sure.
