• 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.

STUFFED TORTILLAS

• 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.

EGG-STUFFED TORTILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat a comal or skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, cut freezer bag along either side to create a large plastic sheet; prepare the tortilla press by covering the bottom plate with half the sheet. Place a tortilla ball in the center of the bottom plate and flatten slightly with your hand; then cover the ball with the other half of the plastic sheet. Lower the press firmly so that the dough is sandwiched between the two plates. Open the press, flip the circle of dough (still sandwiched in plastic), and press again. Remove the flattened tortilla: it should be about 6 inches in diameter and an even thickness throughout.
• Place tortilla onto the preheated comal or skillet. Watch for the edge of the tortilla to begin to dry out and turn opaque, 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side until the tortilla turns opaque and blistery, 1 more minute. After the third flip, when the tortilla puffs up, use your fingers or a spatula to take it off the comal. Quickly use a paring knife to make a 2-3-inch slit along one edge (watch out for hot steam!): now you have a tortilla pocket. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then slide the egg into the tortilla pocket and add a sprinkle of salt. Return the tortilla, now holding the egg, to the comal. Cook the tortilla for about 1 minute per side (or longer, depending on how "done" you like your yolk), until the egg feels set and there's no visible uncooked egg white. Repeat with other tortillas and eggs.
• Serve immediately with pinch of salt on top and 1-2 spoonfuls of fresh salsa verde.

SPICY DAL PARATHAS (INDIAN LENTIL-STUFFED TORTILLAS)

Steps:

• For the dough: Combine all the ingredients and knead into a soft dough using 1/3 cup water (you may need a little more or less).
• Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and keep aside, covered with a damp cloth.
• For the stuffing: Cook the washed and drained lentils in in 3/4 cup of water till all the water is absorbed.
• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet and add the cumin seeds.
• When they sputter, add the asafoetida, cooked lentils, turmeric powder, chilli powder and salt.
• Cook till the lentil mixture is dry, stirring continuously.
• Cool completely and divide into 6 equal portions.
• To prepare the parathas: On a floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough into a circle of 100 mm (4") diameter.
• Place one portion of the stuffing mixture in the centre of the circle.
• Bring togehter all the sides in the centre and seal tightly.
• Roll out again into a circle of 150 mm (6") diameter, using extra flour to roll the paratha.
• Place the paratha on a hot griddle, spreading a little ghee or oil over the paratha while it is on the griddle; flip once, and cook until both sides are golden brown.
• Repeat with the remaining dough and stuffing to make 5 more parathas.
• Serve hot with chilled yogurt, pickle or a raita.

YUCATáN EGG-STUFFED TORTILLAS WITH PUMPKIN SEED SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the tomato sauce. Then, in a large dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring, until aromatic, starting to brown, and popping around in the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve on a plate to cool. 2. In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and cook the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer to a blender. (Save the skillet for later use.) 3. To the blender, add the reserved pumpkin seeds, epazote, chile, and 1/2 cup of the broth. Process to a thick paste. Add the remaining chicken broth, a little at a time, blending after each addition to a thick smooth sauce. Transfer the sauce to a medium nonstick skillet and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until it simmers, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not boil, or the sauce might curdle. (If it does, blend again.) Cover and reserve in the pan, off heat. 4. Reheat the tomato sauce. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil, and soften the tortillas, 1 at a time on both sides until warm and limp. Stack on a plate. To assemble, dip each tortilla in the pumpkin seed sauce to coat both sides. Lay the coated tortilla on a plate. Put a small portion of the chopped egg along the center of each tortilla, roll, and lay seam side down on a warm platter. Repeat until all are dipped, filled, and rolled. To serve, put 2 stuffed tortillas on each of 4 plates. Top with heated tomato sauce. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
