This meal was inspired by T. Matt Latrans, the commentator for the FBA, the voice of the game. His love of Doritos made me want to re-purpose it as an ingredient, as such I ground them into powder and used it as the breading in the meatloaf. The addition of the raisins and apples comes from my love of stuffing at Thanksgiving, knowing how well those ingredients work with meat, even if unconventional. The mint is from its natural flavor profile with chicken and lamb, it also works as a nice palette cleanser, keeping the heavy flavors from overpowering the tongue. It may be a meatloaf, but like the FBA, the layers and depth to it are astounding.

(( When we tested this recipe, we used panko and date molasses; these have been substituted for more Doritos and regular molasses, respectively. But feel free to alter to your tastes))

Chiffonnade means to slice leafy green vegetables or herbs like spinach or basil etc. into long, thin strips. This is accomplished by stacking leaves, rolling them tightly, then slicing the leaves perpendicular to the roll. This method can also be applied to crepes or thin omelettes.
