November

Our family is always interested in new ideas for tasty, healthy, and easy-to-prepare meals. Therefore, I was excited to learn that Chaia Tacos ( https://www.chaiatacos.com/) has introduced the Enchilada Family Pack -- 12 fully-prepared enchiladas ready to reheat in an aluminum pan. This week we were able to try a tray split between black bean and braised mushroom enchiladas.

Chaia Tacos is a woman/mom-owned local small business serving up plant-forward tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas, and a few sides. There are locations in Georgetown, Chinatown, and Bethesda. The restaurant is 100% vegetarian and most items can be made vegan. All products are completely nut-free and, with the exception of beer, gluten-free.

Chaia has limited indoor seating, focusing on take-out and delivery with online orders available through the website. In contrast to the rest of the menu which is made-to-order to be eaten immediately, the Enchilada Family Pack requires reheating. It can be picked up or delivered ahead of time and then popped in the oven for 40-50 minutes before eating. It comes in an aluminum pan so preparation couldn't be easier.
