I like Mexican food. I like easy dinners. So when BzzAgent sent me some new products to try that combined both of those things I was game. Smith's Marketplace is having a Taste of Mexico festival for the month of June. I decided to give the ready-made Barbacoa a try.
The meat is already cooked, all I had to do was microwave it for about 3 minutes, then open and shred it with a couple of forks. The meat was not spicy-hot, but had lots of flavor and was moist. I added my own tortillas, cilantro and lime juice and served up corn on the cob on the side.
Speaking of lime juice, I used this nifty Everyday Living citrus squeezer. Cut the lime in half and put it in and squeeze out all the limey goodness. Easy! The squeezer would work with lemons or maybe even some small oranges.
Dinner prep took me less than 10 minutes from the time I opened the package until it was on the table. Not bad for a weeknight dinner. It made 6 servings, which I'd say is enough for two adults and two small kids or two hungry adults (I ate two and that was about right for me).
There are pork and chicken varieties too that are already cooked and look for the pre-seasoned fajita meat that you cook yourself.
*I received Kroger products to try at no cost from BzzAgent, but was not paid for my review. My opinions are all my own.
