Flour tortillas are filled with spiced tofu and sautéed bell pepper, then rolled up and baked under a Tex-Mex tomato sauce and melted Mexican cheese blend. Fresh pico de gallo and a tangy lime crema are spooned over top for a bright, cooling contrast to the warm, savory filling.

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 ½-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 and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, 4-5 minutes.

  • Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add tofu, half the Tex-Mex paste, half the Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest of each later), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tofu is lightly browned, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat.

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 ½ cup water (¾ 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.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Some found it tasty, while others felt it was bland; consider adjusting seasoning to your preference.
  • Ease of prep: Instructions were time-consuming with many steps and multiple sauces to prepare.
  • Suggestions: Try using corn tortillas for better texture. Adding a side of rice could complement the dish nicely.
  • Sauce: Some preferred a sweeter enchilada sauce over the smoky, paprika-heavy flavor.

Would be much better with corn tortillas. The flour tortillas has a weird chewy texture with this dish.
