Directions

1. Combine raisins and tequila in a small saucepan. Bring to boiling; remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Stir in undrained raisins, undrained tomatoes, green chili peppers, sugar, cinnamon, cumin, and cloves. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until most of the liquid is evaporated.

3. Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil. Heat in a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until warm. Stir pecans into meat mixture.
