Wash and dry all produce. Prepare @tomato{1}(diced), @cilantro{1%bunch}(roughly chopped), @onion{1}(halved, peeled, and sliced), @lime{1}(quartered), and @green bell pepper{1}(sliced into strips).

In a #medium bowl{}, combine diced tomato, chopped cilantro, finely chopped onion (about 2 tbsp), juice from half the lime, and a pinch of @salt{} and @pepper{}. Set aside.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{2%tbsp} with as much @hot sauce{1%tbsp} as you like. Stir in @water{} 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.

Heat a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add @tofu{1%unit}, @southwest spice blend{1%tsp}, @chili powder{1%tsp}, and a few big pinches of salt. Cook, breaking up tofu into pieces, until browned ~{4%minutes}.

Once tofu is browned, add bell pepper, sliced onion, and a pinch of salt to pan. Cook, stirring, until veggies are tender and tofu is cooked through ~{5%minutes}.

Add @beef stock concentrate{1%unit} and ¼ cup water. Simmer until thickened ~{1%minute}. Season with salt; remove pan from heat and set aside.

Drizzle @flour tortillas{2} with olive oil; brush or rub to coat all over. Arrange on a #baking sheet{} in a single layer. Gently prick each tortilla in a few places with a fork.

Bake on top rack, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden ~{4%minutes} per side. Watch carefully as tortillas brown quickly.

Divide tortillas between plates; evenly sprinkle with @mexican cheese blend{½%cup}. Top with tofu mixture, salsa, and crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
