Number Of Ingredients 27

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 teaspoons green hot sauce
2 cups leftover Mini Skillet Meatloaves, crumbled, recipe follows
1 14.5-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 scallion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 8-inch flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 large egg
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 small onion, finely minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
1 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix (ground beef, pork and/or veal)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup ketchup
1 to 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

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.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, chili powder and garlic in a large bowl. Add the meat, season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands until combined. Shape into six 3-to-4-inch oval loaves.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the loaves and brown about 3 minutes per side.
  • Whisk the ketchup, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and brush a few tablespoonfuls over the meat. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, cover and simmer over low heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the loaves to a plate. Add the remaining ketchup mixture to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve 4 meatloaves with the hot glaze, reserving 2 for quesadillas.

I had a hard time finding meatloaf that was flavorful enough for these quesadillas. Maybe I'll try making my own meatloaf next time.
