Grab your cart and clear a shelf in the fridge, because Costco just made Taco Tuesday (or Wednesday, or literally any day) way cheaper. The Kirkland Signature Chicken Street Tacos kit just dropped to $5.49 per pound in this week’s Costco Insider deals, and for a 12-count kit that normally runs you $15-$16, that’s a serious win for anyone trying to feed a crowd without ordering takeout.
What’s Actually in the Kit
This isn’t just a bag of tortillas and a prayer. The Kirkland Signature Chicken Street Tacos kit (item #11545) comes fully loaded: 12 corn-and-flour blend tortillas, pre-seasoned grilled chicken, a shredded cheese blend, tangy cabbage slaw, fresh lime wedges, salsa, and cilantro lime crema. Everything is portioned and ready to heat, which means dinner is on the table in about five minutes flat. No chopping, no marinating, no dishes beyond a microwave-safe bowl.
Weighing in at roughly 2.75 to 3 pounds per package, the whole kit lands around $15-$16 total — but that’s enough to feed a family of four to six people. Do the math and you’re looking at about $1 or so per taco, which is hard to beat for a hot, protein-packed dinner that took zero effort to plan.
“It’s a generous amount of food that feeds four, and the chicken is seasoned just right for kids without being too spicy,” one Costco shopper wrote about the kit.
How to Make It Even Better
If you want to level up the kit, skip the microwave for the chicken and give it a quick sear in a hot pan to bring back some char. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet instead of the microwave for a few extra minutes of texture that actually holds up. And don’t sleep on the cilantro lime crema — it’s rich enough to double as a dip for the leftover lime wedges if you’re the type to squeeze every bit of value out of a $16 haul (we see you).
This kit is basically the food-court version of a homemade dinner, which makes it a natural pairing with other Costco buys built for easy meal prep. And if quick dinner kits are becoming your love language, you’ll also want to check out Costco’s fajita kit, which follows the exact same heat-and-serve formula.
Is It Worth Grabbing This Week?
At $5.49 per pound, this is one of the better per-serving deals in this week’s Costco Insider lineup, especially compared to the usual $15-$16 sticker price you’ll see the rest of the month. Reviews on the kit are mixed on whether it tastes truly “authentic,” but nobody is arguing with the convenience factor — or the price tag. If your family does taco night on repeat, this is the week to stock the fridge.
Pair it with a few extra grocery shopping tricks to shrink your bill and you’ve basically got a free appetizer for the week. Just don’t forget to check the sell-by date at checkout — deals like this one tend to move fast off the shelf.
The deal: Kirkland Signature Chicken Street Tacos, 12-count, $5.49/lb (roughly $15-$16 per kit) — available now at Costco warehouses through July 12, with some pricing continuing through July 19. Prices may vary by location.
