5 min
Difficulty: 2/3

These enchiladas have it all! You’ll roll soft flour tortillas around a filling of tender chicken breast bites, smoky bacon, and green pepper. Douse them with red enchilada sauce, sprinkle with our Mexican cheese blend, and bake until bubbly. Finish with a drizzle of tangy lime crema and a sprinkle of scallion greens.

Preparation
1
Prep

  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 475 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Core, deseed, and dice green pepper into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

2
Make Filling

  • Slice bacon* crosswise into ¼-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.

3
Assemble Enchiladas

  • 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).

4
Bake Enchiladas

  • 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.

5
Make Crema

  • 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.

6
Serve

  • Divide enchiladas between plates and top with lime crema and scallion greens. Serve with hot sauce and any remaining lime wedges on the side.
