Picture this: the WECO culinary team sits in the kitchen, perched on stools around a table, gossiping about all the tasty eats they have planned for you. In walks Melanie, on our marketing team, munching on some sort of unrecognizable salad concoction. All eyes turn. The kitchen becomes quiet. Chef Matt breaks the silence and asks, “Melanie, whatcha eatin’ there?” Melanie smiles. She replies, “oh, just some extra greens I had and some chilaquiles mixed in…”
Jaws drop and chaos ensues.
And here you have it folks, the origin story of this fantabulous chilaquiles bowl. In true WECO fashion, this bowl came from the question, “what do we want to eat for dinner this week?” The answer is always tasty eats like this. Thanks Mel for the inspo! With some added Chef Matt magic, here we are 🙂

The Adobo-Marinated Shrimp (if you ordered them!)
Enjoy these hot or cold, up to you! If you’d like them warmed up, here’s how to do it:

And that’s it! Dinner solved, dinner served. #weareWECO
