Real Beef Enchiladas, Spanish Rice, Refried Beans!

My mother's side of the family is from Mexico. My dad's side is from England. My mom and grandma taught me how to cook Mexican food. It's not the fancy schmancy stuff you see in restaurants. It's simple, yet amazingly delicious food (chicken mole, sopa, enchiladas, flour tortillas, menudo, salsa). Grandma was always cooking and always smiling. She'd hand me a fresh homemade tortilla right off the stove with a little butter on it. The smell and taste of the food is comforting to me and brings a smile to my face. Thank you grandma! I love you. :)
