"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandma adopted some really great Mexican dishes when she moved from Iowa to California. This is one of our family favorites. You can make it a day ahead and refrigerate. A little salsa or hot sauce on the top adds extra spice. Freezes well after baking and is a good dish for those times you want to drop off a meal to someone. We serve it with fresh avacados sprinkled with lime juice or chips and salsa.
