• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray). Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and finely chop half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime (for 4, zest one lime and quarter both). • In a small bowl (medium bowl for 4), combine 1½ TBSP chopped onion (3 TBSP for 4), juice from half the lime (whole lime for 4), and a pinch of salt. • In a separate small bowl, combine Mexican cheese and Monterey Jack.

• Open and drain tofu; press out excess water with paper towels. • Crumble tofu into small pieces (similar to the texture of ground meat) in a medium bowl. Add Southwest Spice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add tofu in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned on the bottom, 2-3 minutes. • Add remaining chopped onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is slightly softened and tofu is browned, 3-4 minutes more (if pan seems dry, add another drizzle of oil). • Stir in Tex-Mex paste and 1⁄3 cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.

• Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to coat. • Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once filling is done, add a heaping ¼-cup scoop to one side of each tortilla; sprinkle with 1 TBSP cheese mixture. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create taquitos. Place, seam sides down, on prepared sheet. TIP: Make sure the taquitos are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling. • Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.

• While taquitos bake, finely dice tomato. Add tomato and half the lime zest to bowl with seasoned onion. Toss to combine and season with salt. • In bowl used for cheese, combine guacamole, sour cream, remaining lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide taquitos between plates. Top with creamy guacamole and pico de gallo. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
