One of the recipes I really like from a book Country Girl gave me is for mini-meatloaf. I tried to put a personal spin on it and make something similar but "carne asada" style. I started with a ground turkey and ground beef mixture. To that, I added chopped cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, smoked chipotle tabasco and chopped red and white onion.
Put them in the oven (on a cookie sheet as they tend to overflow) at 350 for about 35 minutes and presto!
Taste wise, I'd rate them a "fair". There was plenty of heat thanks to the tabasco and cayenne pepper. I thought the "carne asda" taste was lacking though. I'd definitely use more cilantro and lime juice next time. I also thought they were a bit dry and would cut down the cooking time next time as well. Country Girl said she thought they were great. She's a kind critic though =)
