Chiles Rellenos con Queso

What is it?

A 14.4-ounce frozen meal, it comes with fire-roasted whole peppers stuffed with cheese, coated in an egg batter, and packed with a tomato sauce on the side. Heat it in the microwave, oven, or air fryer, then serve the sauce over the top or alongside. Compared with other Trader Joe’s frozen meals, this one leans more toward a plated entrée than a bowl or skillet item. The peppers bring a smoky, softened texture, the cheese stays molten, and the batter gives a thin shell once reheated. It’s vegetarian and built around the familiar chiles rellenos structure: roasted pepper, cheese center, batter, and sauce.
