This is not your grandmother, or mother's, meatloaf. (Not that there was anything wrong with those loaves. They were moist and delicious. Hi Mom!) This loaf brings you those sweet and slightly spicy al pastor flavors, made with a chipotle BBQ sauce. And grandma wouldn't have had chayote on the side; the squash-like veg is in fine form here, simply sautéed to bring out its natural flavors. Nothing wrong with the loaves of the past, but nothing tastes as good as loaves of the future.
