Costco Elevates Taco Tuesday With Exciting New Meal Kit

When it comes to making our lives easy, Costco knows just how to do it. Whether it’s the affordable food court offerings that allow us a leisurely dinner on nights we need to shop or those five-dollar chickens, it’s hard to find a better deal.

They also have a fantastic selection of freshly prepared foods, giving us a simple and affordable way to make dinner on hectic weeknights. These are especially handy when it’s time to return to school and those busiest days of the year begin.

Like nearly everything else they provide, this is an unbelievable deal! Creator @ costcohotfinds reports that these shrimp tempura tacos are fire! They include everything we need, like the shredded cabbage mix, Pico de Gallo , lime Crema, and golden (fully cooked) shrimp. She reports she heated the shrimp tempura in the air fryer and warmed the corn tortillas on the stove, and she tells us this meal kit makes 12 tacos for $16. That’s a terrific deal, considering there’s nothing to do except open the container and warm the ingredients if we choose. There isn’t a restaurant or drive-thru offering that can compete with this price or the convenience.

What Makes Tempura Different From Other Fried Foods?

This Japanese frying technique dates back to the 1600s when the Portuguese introduced it in Nagasaki. A tempura batter is typically a simple mixture of cold water, flour, and sometimes egg. It is light and airy, with no breadcrumbs or heavy coatings. It’s not made to overpower the main ingredient but to enhance it. The cold temperature of the batter helps develop a crisp, delicate texture when fried, making it ideal for veggies and seafood. Compared to other fried foods, the temperature of the cooking oil is much lower, which helps preserve the flavor and texture of the ingredients.

People shared their experiences with this new meal. One viewer advised, “Costco taco kit hack: combine veggies with cilantro lime sauce (like a slaw)!” That’s a brilliant idea! And it helps ensure that there’s enough for everyone. Viewer @Jackie reported, “Just bought them tonight! Also, the two new take-and-bake pizzas! They were great!” That’s terrific to know! We’ll need to keep our eyes open for those. Viewer @LiannBryan shared, “These are so good!! Air fry those shrimp, and add lots of lime before eating them. I also added Cotija cheese.” Adding a little cheese always makes everything better.

This sensational option is a great way to simplify life and mix up our menus. Once again, we can thank Costco for making dinnertime a breeze.
