My mom, Eva, who was full-blooded Mexican, was a great cook! She loved making people feel comfortable around her and they especially LOVED her cooking, like her Spanish Rice, her flour tortillas, enchiladas, tacos, hot sauce, etc. and her Saturday morning breakfasts. She was a beautiful, fiery, endearing woman with a great smile. This is a tribute to her and I know that she would be so tickled to see her name and recipe along with so many other good cooks! I hope that you will enjoy it.
