Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim, peel, and cut carrot on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Trim green beans, if necessary. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime.
-
In a large bowl, gently combine pork*, scallion whites, panko, half the Fajita Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), salt (we used ¾ tsp; 1½ tsp for 4), and pepper.
-
Form into two 1-inch-tall loaves (four loaves for 4) and place on one side of a baking sheet. (For 4, arrange meatloaves across entire baking sheet.)
-
Toss carrot on opposite side of baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, toss carrots on a second baking sheet.)
-
Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you'll add more to the sheet then). (For 4, roast carrots on top rack and meatloaves on middle rack.)
-
Once carrot and meatloaves have roasted 5 minutes, add green beans to baking sheet. Carefully toss with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Return to the oven and roast 12-15 minutes; until veggies are browned and tender and meatloaves are cooked through.
-
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine tomato, scallion greens, and juice from two lime wedges (four wedges for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper.
-
In the last few minutes of roasting meatloaves and veggies, place queso blanco in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until warmed through, 30-45 seconds.
-
Divide meatloaves and roasted veggies between plates. Spoon queso blanco over meatloaves and top with salsa (draining first). Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
