The Story Behind This Dish

A little note from the kitchen.

This colorful skillet dinner brings together rich enchilada flavor, gently sweet vegetables, and a creamy, cheesy finish. Fresh radish, cilantro, and jalapeño brighten every serving and balance the warm sauce.

The tofu develops lightly crisp, golden spots before being combined with tender black beans and soft corn tortilla wedges. Melted Mexican cheese covers the top, while sour cream adds a cool and smooth contrast.

Make this satisfying meal when you need a complete family dinner prepared in one skillet. It works especially well for busy evenings when you want familiar, comforting flavors without assembling individual enchiladas.

Chef's Note

Pat the tofu thoroughly dry so it can develop lightly browned, crisp spots in the skillet.

Use a broiler-safe 12-inch cast-iron skillet because the pan moves directly from the stovetop to the broiler.

Fold in the tortilla wedges gently to keep some of their shape while coating them with the sauce.

For less heat, leave the jalapeño rings off individual portions without changing the skillet mixture.

Reheat leftovers until hot throughout, adding the fresh garnishes and sour cream after warming.

Popular Asked Questions

Q:

Why is my tofu not becoming crispy?

A:
Extra moisture can prevent browning. Pat the tofu dry before tearing it, keep the skillet at medium-high heat, and stir often while allowing time for crisp spots to form.
Q:

Do I need a cast-iron skillet?

A:
The recipe specifically uses a 12-inch cast-iron skillet because it handles both stovetop cooking and broiling safely.
Q:

Can I make the skillet less spicy?

A:
Yes. The jalapeño is added as a final topping, so you can omit it from mild portions while serving it separately for anyone who enjoys extra heat.
Q:

How do I know when the skillet is ready under the broiler?

A:
Remove it after about 3 minutes, when the shredded cheese has melted evenly over the top.
Q:

When should I add the radishes, cilantro, and sour cream?

A:
Add all three after broiling. This keeps the radishes crisp, the cilantro fresh, and the sour cream cool and creamy.
