Saucy, smothered, hearty, and delicious: This enchilada bake has everything! You’ll start by wrapping tortillas around a filling of spiced ground pork and sautéed bell pepper, then coating the bundles with a healthy glug of zesty, tomatoey sauce and a sprinkle of Mexican cheese. Bake until piping hot and bubbly, then top with lime crema and pico de gallo and dig into all that deliciousness.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Quarter lime. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces.

Make Pico & Crema
2

• In a small bowl, combine tomato, scallions, a drizzle of oil, and juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper. • In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream with lime juice to taste. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Make Filling
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, salt, and pepper; cook until just softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add pork*, half the Tex-Mex paste, half the Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest of each later), salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.

Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Once veggies are just softened, cook through the rest of this step as instructed, swapping in chicken or beef* for pork. Cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Assemble Enchiladas
4

• Place a small amount of filling on one half of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create enchiladas. Place, seam sides down, in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish (9-by-13-inch baking dish for 4 servings) or an ovenproof pan.

Make Sauce & Bake
5

• In a liquid measuring cup or bowl, combine 1⁄2 cup water (3⁄4 cup for 4 servings), tomato paste, remaining Tex-Mex paste, and remaining Southwest Spice Blend. • Pour sauce over enchiladas to thoroughly coat. Sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. • Bake on top rack until sauce is bubbly and cheese has melted, 3-5 minutes.

Serve
6

• Top enchiladas with lime crema and pico de gallo. Divide between plates and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the taste, with some finding it mildly spicy. The pico de gallo added a nice fresh element 🍅.
  • Ease of prep: While some found it quick and easy, others felt there were many steps and it was time-consuming.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more cheese, onions, and cilantro for extra flavor. Try poblano or Anaheim peppers instead of green bell peppers.
  • Portions: Some felt there wasn't enough filling; consider adding rice, beans, or extra veggies to bulk up the enchiladas.
  • Texture: A few found the tortillas became soggy after baking. Experiment with less sauce or a shorter bake time for crispier results.

Enjoyed them and were pretty easy overall. Would have preferred the "pico" to have used a regular onion with jalapeno though

More cheese would have been nice. But even only having 1/2 of a green pepper usable, this was excellent and I'd order it again.

As usual, added extra veggies. Added a poblano pepper to green pepper. Had lots of tomatoes to use, so extra salsa with shallots. Roasted rest of tomatoes with shallots. Made enchiladas with chicken, pepper, and shallot mix. Added roasted tomatoes and shallot to top of end with sauce. Added a bit of extra cheese. So yummy!

Taste great. Just the right about of pepper heat. I say medium light. Only small negative, tomatoes not ripe lacking any taste.

Little too spicy for me. Flavors were great, just a little spicier than I like. Maybe offer 2 different versions? One for wimps, like me, and one for people need extra spice!

We got chicken instead of ground pork (which the cooking instructions mentioned). It was delicious but I can tell that the ground pork would've been better. And more cheese!

Enchiladas have always been my favorite Mexican food. And this dish is no exception. Adding onions and cilantro adds this tasty dish.

Great flavor, but it needed more tomato paste for pouring over the enchiladas while in the oven
