Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 475°F. Wash and dry all produce. Core, deseed, and dice @long green pepper{1%unit} into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice @scallions{3%unit}, separating whites from greens.

Slice @bacon{4%strips} crosswise into ¼-inch pieces. Open package of @chopped chicken breast{14%oz} and drain off any excess liquid. Heat #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add bacon in an even layer; cook, undisturbed, until bottom is crispy ~{2%minutes}. Stir in chicken, green pepper, scallion whites, @mexican spice blend{2%tsp}, and a pinch of @salt{1%pinch}. Cook, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat if browning too quickly, until bacon is crispy, chicken is cooked through, and green pepper is tender ~{4%minutes}. -- TIP: Add a drizzle of @oil{1%tbsp} if pan seems dry.

While filling cooks, wrap @flour tortillas{6%unit} 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 #baking dish{}.

Cover enchiladas with as much @enchilada sauce{1%cup} as you like. Sprinkle with @mexican cheese blend{¾%cup}. Bake on top rack until sauce is bubbling and cheese melts ~{3%minutes}.

While enchiladas bake, zest and quarter @lime{1%unit}. In #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{2%tbsp}, juice from one lime wedge, and as much lime zest as you like. Taste and season with salt and @pepper{1%pinch}.

Divide enchiladas between plates and top with lime crema and scallion greens. Serve with @hot sauce{1%unit} and any remaining lime wedges on the side.
