—
In the mood for a spicy, chunky, #pasta sauce? Reach for our latest tomato-based creation. Its hearty texture comes from whole, peeled, #SanMarzano tomatoes, along with additional diced tomatoes and red bell peppers. Its heat comes from #harissa (red chili paste), including: paprika, cumin, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and coriander.

Tossing it with your favorite TJ’s noodles is a given, but you can also put it on pizza for added pizzazz. It’s a great base for stews, such as #ChickenCacciatore. And, as you can see, it’s makes #Shakshuka a snap—just add eggs, fresh cilantro, and cheese, if you please!

From Shakshuka to spaghetti, you can’t go wrong with this sauce.
Jalapeno Seasoned Corn & Rice Puffs
Trader Joe’s is known for their snacks and for good reason.
Just like a classic chip, we bet you can’t eat just one (handful).
Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeno Dip
Cauliflower maintains its place as the “hit” vegetable with this creamy, spicy dip.

When we sampled a creamy, cauliflower-based #Dip on a visit to one of our suppliers, we knew it had serious potential. Just the fact that it had #Cauliflower was already a win, and with a little recipe-tweaking, cauliflower cruised straight to the top of the ingredients list, which also includes cream cheese, light cream, ricotta, Parmesan & a lil’ kick of #Jalapeño for contrast. Bottom line? This divine #Dip tastes more indulgent than it actually is. To further up the indulgence factor, try baking it in a skillet until a golden-brown crust begins to form, then dip, dip away! — • 40 Cals* • 3.5g Fat* • 1g Carbs* • No rBST • *Per 2-Tbsp. serving; full nutrition info via link in bio #TraderJoes

Add some fresh bread and you’re good to go for the perfect party app.
Fermented Jalapeno Slices
Sometimes you just want to add a little spice, but fermenting jalapeno sounds like way too much work.

????: “Spicy Naan Pizza,” featuring #TraderJoes Pickled #Fermented Jalapeño Slices • Link to the #TJsRecipe in our bio ???????????? — What do you get when you pair pieces of pineapple with pickled #jalapeños and put ’em on a pizza? You get a satisfying combination of spicy, briny, and sweet, together in pizza form! What do you get when you swap your regular crust for delicious TJ’s #Naan? Why, you get a pineapple n’ pickled #jalapeño pizza with a Tandoori, tropical twist! . The idea that pineapple doesn’t belong on #pizza is utter *naan-sense,* but if you flat-out refuse to feast on fruity pizza, then at least treat yourself to a handful of Pickled Fermented Jalapeño Slices! They come brined in vinegar and, prior to packing, they’re salted & left to ferment for three days. Needless to say, their flavor is unforgettable. — | 10.6 oz.

Thankfully, Trader Joes’ has these delicious slices that can be added to everything.
Honey Aleppo Sauce
This sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.

????: “Honey Aleppo #Shrimp,” featuring #TraderJoes Honey Aleppo Sauce • Tap the link in our bio to get the #TJsRecipe ???????? — Not familiar with #AleppoPeppers? A common component in Middle Eastern cooking, they’re about half as hot as crushed chile flakes, but twice as flavorful, which is why we’ve made them the star of our all-purpose #AleppoSauce! . Crafted in an olive oil & honey base, TJ’s Honey Aleppo Sauce brings the kind of heat that’s subtle at first, allowing the sweetness of the honey & the tangy notes of red wine vinegar to take center stage. . Still, while it never gets house-on-fire hot, the heat builds in the most nuanced way, delivering robust flavor and a focused intensity that gives grilled meat, seafood (see above!), salad dressings, and even crudités a new spin. — | 10 oz.

Add it to the next time you’re making an international entree.
Organice Jalapeno Limeade
While you might not consider drinking jalapenos on a regular basis, this drink will change your mind.
Just a touch of spice, but mostly sweet.

Buying anything that’s already marinated is such a win.
These pre-marinated chicken thighs make dinner extra easy.
Everything but the Elote Seasoning Blend
Trader Joe’s may be best known for their Everything Bagel seasoning blend, but this one should also hold a special place on your spice rack.

????: “Elote-Jalapeño Cornbread #Pancakes,” feat. #TraderJoes Everything But the Elote #Seasoning • Link to #TJsRecipe is in our bio! ???????????? #WeLikeItElote • Throughout Mexico & across the U.S., street vendors sell mouthwatering, well-seasoned corn on the cob known as #elote. While the fixins may vary from vendor to vendor, anyone who grew up visiting the neighborhood #elotero or making elote at home can attest to its crave-ability. • In the spirit of our #EverythingButTheBagel that came before it, TJ’s #EverythingButTheElote is "Everything" you might find on elote—chile pepper, Parmesan cheese, dried cilantro, salt, etc.—minus the corn itself. We add a bit of corn flour & cane sugar* in its absence, though, so there’s no mistaking what this stuff meant to mimic. …………………………………………………………… *FUN FACT FOR FOOD NERDS: ???? Ingredients must always be listed on product labels in descending order by weight. However, according to federal food labeling guidelines, values listed in the nutrition facts panel must be rounded to zero if the amount is considered “insignificant.” For example, if a product contains less than .5g of sugar per serving, which this one does, then the value must be rounded down to 0g of sugar per serving, even though sugar is listed as an ingredient.
