 HUEVOS MEXICANOS
 (Mexican-style Eggs)

2 Tbsp. chopped onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
4 whole cloves
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
4 Tbsp. water

1/2 cup oil, divided
1-1/2 cups chopped tomatoes (can use fresh, frozen or canned, drained well)
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped green chiles (add some jalapenos for more heat if desired)
1 tsp. salt
4 corn tortillas
2 eggs  (scrambled or fried)
4 Tbsp. refried beans
4 Tbsp. diced ham
Grated cheddar or Jack cheese

 In a blender, puree the first 6 ingredients.  Strain.  Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in
a small saucepan, add the puree and stir for one minute.  Add tomato,
chiles, tomato sauce and salt and cook for 5 minutes.
 Heat the remaining oil in a small skillet.  Fry each tortilla for 30
seconds, turning if necessary.  Pour off most the oil, add eggs and fry or
scramble until set.
 Place a tortilla on a plate.  Spread with half the beans and place eggs on
top.  Cover with the other tortilla, spoon the tomato salsa on top and
garnish with ham and cheese.  Repeat to make 2 servings.
(Note: Recipe can be doubled to serve 4.)
