Ramona Luevano taught me everything I know about real Mexican cooking. She worked for me for a while and I studied her methodology for everything I could get because she was such a good Mexican cook. She and her husband owned a Mexican restaurant and lost it when the landlord sold the building, so she came to work for me. I bless the day I met Mona, I learned at the knee of a true Master of Mexican cooking.
I've included the recipes that were the favorites of our customers. I served these dishes on a regular basis and even had guests tell me that our Mexican food was better than most of the Mexican restaurants in the area. Now, that was a compliment I can thank Mona for, and I did, and I do.

I made these Chicken Enchiladas on a fairly regular basis. It was one of those lunch specials that
people called ahead for and reserved because we would run out. I've scaled the recipe down for home cooking.Recipe By : Mona
