Socalo Enchilada Kit

The next best thing to eating out is getting food to go from a favorite restaurant that makes it easy to make/reheat at home. Since Los Angeles still has indoor and outdoor dining banned, there remain only the choices of curbside pick up, or delivery via an app that charges around 30% to the restaurant for the use of their service. I have been opting for curbside pick up in the last few months because every dollar counts to help a restaurant survive until they can reopen. If you can pick up your food, please do.

The next best thing to eating out is getting food to go from a favorite restaurant that makes it easy to make/reheat at home. Socalo offers meal kits like chicken enchiladas for $35 to serve 2 (can be increased for as many people as you wish by 2) and it was a very generous kit that I actually parlayed into 4 meals!

A huge bag of freshly made chips were included

with an assortment of guacamole, salsa, and condiments for the enchiladas were also included with detailed instructions and an ingredient list.

Organic red rice,

baby gem caesar salad, 

and of course four organic yellow corn tortillas filled with Mary's chicken, poblano crema, wild mushrooms, roasted corn, and Mexican cheeses in an oven ready container. Each enchilada was so big and filling I could only eat one!

The meal reheated in my oven at home was convenient, delicious, and a great way to have an easy ready meal without having to cook! They offer other meal kits, so I think the next time I want a break from cooking, I will order a taco kit :)
