When the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, the last thing I want to do is spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Sure, I do love cooking delicious foods for a summer barbecue, but on the average weeknight, I don’t feel like turning on the oven and sweating more than I already am. Instead, I like to find quick and easy meals to throw together so I can get back to enjoying the lovely weather, and these Aldi taco kits are just the thing I need to stock up on to appease my lazy summer-girl heart.

Instead of having to assemble all of the ingredients yourself, Aldi makes it easy with these street taco kits, a complete meal all in one box for just $9.99. There are two boxes available to choose from. The Chipotle Shrimp Street Tacos includes wild-caught Argentine shrimp, creamy ancho chili sauce, chipotle seasoning, and a medley of spinach, corn, and roasted tomato. The Pork Carnitas Street Tacos have pork carnitas (obviously), cilantro pesto sauce, and a medley of peppers and onions. These meal kits serve four (the kit includes 8 tacos) and can be prepared in 20 minutes, making them the perfect weeknight dinner if you need something quick and tasty for the fam.

The best part? These taco kits are found in the freezer section, making them the perfect dinner staple to stock up on when you need something light and easy to throw together for dinner — which, in my honest opinion, is exactly what I’m looking for during the summer when I don’t feel like flicking on the oven during those sweltering months. With these taco kits, all you have to do is prep them on the stove and you have dinner on the table in less than a half hour. It honestly feels like a steal.

If you can’t find these taco kits at your local Aldi, then you could always attempt to prep and freeze your own taco kits at home. Make a large batch of these Instant Pot pork carnitas with the fixings, or these sheet pan shrimp tacos, then freeze your homemade kits for later.
