You are welcome, Ray. Being from California, I have had an advantage when it comes to Mexican food.
So many delicious dishes. It seems that once a person has some of the basic Mexican dishes they begin to crave them! Watch out! Just kidding.

Similar to mine but yet very different, another I will be trying. I like the cocoa and cinnamon addition.

This was good. I wasn't sure about the addition of cocoa, as I thought that might make it more of a mole sauce, but I made an enchilada casserole with it and it was delicious! Thanks.
