Mexican Meatloaf Muffins
- 2 pounds ground chicken lean
- 2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 cup chili sauce roasted, {below}
- 1 cup shredded cheddar plus extra for garnish
- 2 eggs
- 1 poblano stem removed
- 2 jalapeno stem removed
- 2 tomatoes halved
- 2 cans enchilada sauce mild green chili
- 3 garlic cloves
- salt
- pepper
- cilantro
- 4 avocados ripe
- 1 lime
- 1 red onion fine dice
- 1 large tomato small dice {optional}
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- Lets start with the sauce. In a large frying pan, over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. place the poblano and jalapenos into the pan. Roast on each side, set aside.
- Add the tomatoes and garlic to the same pan and again roast on each side.
- Place the chilis, tomatoes and garlic into a food processor {to remove some heat just take the seeds and ribs out of the chilis first}. Pulse a few times to begin breaking down. Add in the green chili enchilada sauce, and a couple handfuls of cilantro leaves. Mix until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl mix together the ground chicken, breadcrumb, roasted chili sauce, cheddar and eggs. Season with 1 tsp salt and a 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Using a large scoop, portion out the meat mixture into a greased muffin pan. I got 9 large meatloaf muffins.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Top each with a little shredded cheddar and cook another 2-4 minutes.
- For the guacamole, mash the avocados in a bowl. Stir in the tomatoes, red onion, lime juice, some salt, garlic powder and chopped cilantro to taste.
- Serve with additional roasted chili sauce, a dollop of sour cream and a garnish of fresh chopped cilantro. I served the guacamole on the side.
