Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the @red onion{1}; finely chop remaining half until you have 2 TBSP (for 4 servings, thinly slice whole onion; finely chop a few slices until you have 3 TBSP). Dice @tomato{2}. Roughly chop @cilantro{½%oz}. Quarter @lime{2}. Halve, core, and thinly slice @long green pepper{2} into strips.

In a #small bowl{}, combine chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, juice from half the lime, and a pinch of @salt{} and @black pepper{}.

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{8%tsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @tofu{2%unit}; season with @Southwest Spice Blend{2%tbsp}, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Heat a drizzle of oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Season with @chili powder{2%tsp}, salt, and pepper. Stir in @chicken stock concentrate{2%unit}, cooked tofu, and ¼ cup water. Cook until mixture is thickened and saucy, 1-2 minutes. TIP: If mixture seems dry, add another splash of water.

Meanwhile, drizzle @flour tortillas{12%unit} with 1 TBSP oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to coat all over. Arrange on a #baking sheet{} in a single layer (for 4, divide between 2 baking sheets). Gently prick each tortilla in a few places with a fork. Toast on top rack, carefully flipping tortillas halfway through, until lightly golden, 4-5 minutes per side. (For 4, toast on top and middle racks, flipping tortillas and swapping rack positions halfway through toasting.) TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Divide tortillas between plates; evenly sprinkle with @Mexican cheese blend{1%cup}. Top with tofu and veggies, @smoky red pepper crema{8%tbsp}, pico de gallo, and @hot sauce{2%tsp} to taste. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
