Best 6 Meatloaf Quesadillas With Cilantro Cream Recipes

MEATLOAF QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 3 minutes; set aside. Meanwhile, trim the broccoli stems and peel into wide ribbons using a vegetable peeler; transfer to a large bowl. Add the carrot, half each of the lime juice, cilantro and jalapenos, the brine and 3 tablespoons olive oil; toss. Drain the florets and rinse under cold water; add to the salad and toss.
• Combine the tomatoes, onion and remaining lime juice, cilantro and jalapenos in a bowl. Mix half of the salsa with the meatloaf.
• Divide the meatloaf mixture among the tortillas, spreading it on one side. Top with the cheese, then fold the tortillas in half over the filling. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches and re-oiling the skillet as needed, cook the quesadillas until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until the cheese melts, 5 minutes. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the sour cream, remaining salsa, lime wedges and broccoli salad.
• Combine the meatloaf mix, panko, eggs, 3/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, the scallions, parsley, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl; mix with your hands until just combined. Form into a 5-by-9-inch loaf.
• Transfer the meatloaf to a 6-quart slow cooker. Scatter the potatoes and carrots over and around the meatloaf. Pour in the chicken broth. Cover the slow cooker and cook 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
• When the meatloaf is done, skim off any excess fat from the juices in the slow cooker. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and the brown sugar in a small bowl, then whisk in 1/4 cup juices from the slow cooker. Brush the top of the meatloaf with the ketchup mixture. Cover the slow cooker and let the meatloaf rest, 10 minutes.
• Remove the meatloaf from the slow cooker and slice in half. Serve half with the vegetables; top with more parsley.

MEATLOAF QUESADILLAS WITH CILANTRO CREAM

Steps:

• Make the cilantro cream: Puree the sour cream, cilantro, lime juice and hot sauce in a blender until smooth.
• Prepare the quesadillas: Mix the meatloaf, beans, scallion, cumin, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste in a bowl.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese, then top with one-quarter of the meat mixture and another 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another tortilla and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining butter, tortillas and filling. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with the cilantro cream.

• Remove vegetables from skillet and place in bowl.
• In same skillet that has been wiped clean with a napkin,add 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.
