Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and dice green pepper into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
• Slice bacon crosswise into 1⁄4-inch pieces. • Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until bottom is crispy, 2-3 minutes. Stir in chicken, green pepper, scallion whites, Mexican Spice Blend, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until bacon is crispy, chicken is cooked through, and green pepper is tender, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Add a drizzle of oil if pan seems dry.
• While filling cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • Once filling is done, lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Place a small amount of filling on the bottom half of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create enchiladas. • Arrange enchiladas, seam sides down, in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish or ovenproof pan (use a 9-by-13-inch baking dish for 4 servings).
• Cover enchiladas with as much enchilada sauce as you like (we sent extra!). Sprinkle with Mexican cheese blend. • Bake on top rack until sauce is bubbling and cheese melts, 3-5 minutes.
• While enchiladas bake, zest and quarter lime. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), and as much lime zest as you like. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide enchiladas between plates and top with lime crema and scallion greens. Serve with hot sauce and any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Pork is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the smoky bacon and tangy lime crema, though some found the spice blend overpowering or too smoky 🌶️.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, but some struggled with large chicken pieces and suggested pre-cooking the bacon.
- Suggestions: Consider dicing chicken smaller, adding beans or rice, and using more cheese both inside and on top.
- Portions: A few wanted larger tortillas or more filling to better stuff the enchiladas.
- Texture: Some found the bacon's texture off-putting; try crisping it separately before adding to the filling.
Reviews from our home cooks
I was excited to try this meal. It wasn't bad, tasted like a fajita to me though. The bacon was a waste, couldn't taste it. The chicken needed to be diced into smaller pieces to make it easier to assemble. I've not had enchiladas in flour tortillas before, think it needed the taste and texture of corn tortillas. I added both packets of hot sauce to the meat instead of using it on top because we like lots of flavor. Very easy to make.
I never would have thought to add bacon to my enchiladas but I loved it. I wish the kit came with more sour cream and luckily I had some on hand to make more of the lime crema. This was delicious.
Very tasty meal with perfect enchilada flavor. The lime being cut into quarters and then only using one wedge for the sauce felt a little strange, but overall easy to cook and very flavorful
Cooked bacon in the oven then used the drippings to start the chicken and veggies. Cut bacon into bite-sized pieces and added to the chicken at the end of cooking- FANTASTIC
Loved the bacon addition. Also love that you send a poblano pepper instead of a green pepper.
Delicious meal. The chicken is flavorful. I'm not getting too much bacon flavor. It also needs more cheese and sour cream.
These were pretty good on day 1, but even better the second day when the bacon flavors permeated more throughout the dish.
I didn't have high hopes for this one putting it together, but it was a pleasant surprise! Very, very tasty. Sometimes you just have to trust the process.
Really delicious recipe. However, the chopped chicken breasts were not really chopped. A lot of additional cutting required.
Loved the concept but my bacon got soggy while cooking the chicken, next time I would pre-cook the bacon and remove from the pan while cooking the peppers and chicken, then add it back in at the end
