STUFFED TORTILLAS WITH TWO SAUCES

Steps:

• Make tomato sauce:
• Preheat broiler.
• Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow baking pan and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat, turning once, until softened and skins are charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes total.
• Blend tomatoes, water, onion, garlic, vinegar, chile, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids).
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium- high heat until it shimmers, then add sauce and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Make pumpkin-seed sauce:
• Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until all seeds have expanded but are still green, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
• Coarsely chop 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds and set aside. Bring water, epazote, onion, garlic, and 1 1/4teaspoons salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Blend this mixture with remaining 1 3/4 cups pumpkin seeds in 2 batches in cleaned blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids), about 5 minutes, transferring to a heavy medium saucepan. Season with salt.
• Make filling:
• Cook zucchini and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then remove from heat. Add eggs, gently tossing to combine.
• Fry and fill tortillas:
• Heat remaining cup oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then soft-fry tortillas, 1 at a time, turning over once with tongs, until softened (not crisp or browned), 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain, blotting both sides, then stack tortillas to keep moist.
• Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. 3Working with 1 tortilla at a time, dip in pumpkin-seed sauce to coat both sides, then transfer to a plate. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons egg filling down middle of tortilla, then roll up and arrange in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
• Cover with foil and bake until heated thourough, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, reheat sauces over low heat, stirring pumpkin-seed sauce frequently, just until hot. (Thin pumpkin-seed sauce with water if very thick.)
• Top papadzules with pumpkin-seed sauce. Sprinkle with chopped pumpkin seeds and serve tomato sauce on the side.

PANUCHOS (YUCATAN STUFFED TORTILLAS)

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine first three ingredients and stir until smooth. The dough should be slightly sticky and form a ball when pressed together. To test, flatten a small piece of dough between your palms. If the edges crack, add water to the dough, a tablespoon at a time, until a test piece does not crack.
• Divide the masa into 12 pieces and form each into a ball. Press or roll each into a 4-inch circle. Heat a dry cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and cook the tortillas. When cool enough to handle, pick up each puffed tortilla and make a 1 1/2-inch slit about 1/4-inch from the edge to make a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through the tortilla. Puree the Refried Black Beans and stuff 2 teaspoons of the bean puree in each pocket. Flatten to seal and spread the beans evenly. Reserve the stuffed tortillas on a tray covered with a barely damp cloth.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Fry the stuffed tortillas in batches, adding more oil as necessary, until they are a little crisp around the edges but still pliable. Drain on paper towels. Then place on a tray and keep warm in a 200 degree oven.
• Heat the chicken in a small pan over low heat. Remove the tray of panuchos from the oven. Top each with a scant tablespoon of Roasted Tomato Salsa. Sprinkle on the chicken and Pickled Red Onions and top each with a small avocado slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• *Variation: In case your tortillas do not puff, here is an alternative plan; fry them as is in the oil, and then spread with a very fine layer of beans followed by the other ingredients. They will still taste delicious.

Steps:

• Saute ground beef in its own fat in a large nonstick pan until it is brown and crumbled. Set to the side of the pan.
• Saute the onion, garlic and jalapeno until the onion begins to soften.
• Stir in the chili powder, cumin and tofu and continue cooking.
• Cut the tomatoes in quarters and squeeze out some of the seeds and juices. Dice and add to the pan. Stir the beef back into the other ingredients and add olives, wine, salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the liquid has been absorbed.
• Heat the tortillas in a toaster oven.
• Mix together the yogurt and sour cream.
• When the tortillas are warm, arrange 1/4 of the beef filling down the middle of each one and top with 2 tablespoons of the yogurt-sour cream mixture and 1 tablespoon of cilantro. Roll up and serve.
