As we’ve grown more sophisticated in this life, so have our quesadillas. Gone are the days of those microwaved renditions of our youth (they got the job done, but they definitely weren’t delicious). This cosmopolitan quesadilla is jam-packed with tender poblano, flavorful mashed black beans, and tons of gooey, melty cheese. On top, there’s a tangy salsa fresca salsa and dollops of creamy guac. Yep, a good thing just got a whole lot better.

Struggling to fit both taco night and pizza night into your weekly dinnertime rotation? We’ve got a solution: put some tasty taco toppings on flatbread crusts and watch worlds collide. Peppers, beef, and tomato bring those Tex-Mex flavors, along with two kinds of cheeses and some sour cream for fun. But when everything’s popped in the oven and allowed to get crisp, melty, and hot, there’s no denying that this really is a masterpiece of pizza.

This week, we’re inducting a recipe that is literally full of itself into the HelloFresh Hall of Fame. Our roasted bell peppers are stuffed, loaded, pumped up, and packed in a way that is worthy of accolades, all thanks to a ground beef, quinoa, and melty Monterey Jack cheese filling that’s both easy to make and easy to love. In the words of one of our happy cooks, this one is “way better than my mom’s family recipe (please don’t tell her that).”

Tostadas are crispy tortillas with all the fixings on top—basically, they’re crunchy flat tacos that have plenty of surface area for piling it on. The fixings on these don’t disappoint, either: you’ve got black beans, diced tomato, and charred corn for chunky texture, plus jalapeño for heat and pickled shallot for an acidic punch. It doesn’t matter if you dig in with a knife and fork or eat them with your hands—these tostadas are delicious either way.

Crispy chicken is always a recipe for success. Add melty Monterey Jack and warm Southwestern spices to the mix, and you’ve got a winning dinner. Once baked, the crust turns golden-brown while the meat stays juicy and tender. The crunchy cutlets are served alongside creamy mashed potatoes and a fajita-reminiscent tangle of roasted poblanos and onions. If this all sounds complicated--it’s not! 30 minutes is all you need for this delicious dish to land on your table.

Somewhere along the line, sandwiches were deemed “lunch food only,” and we’re here to call that bad marketing. Sandwiches could not be more dinner-worthy, people! Our chefs have officially reclaimed the handheld meal and now present it to you in its most hearty, delicious, and satisfying form. Pan-seared chicken breast is served under a blanket of gooey Monterey Jack, tangy balsamic caramelized onions, and a creamy sauce. There’s even a side of roasted potatoes for good measure. Step aside, lunch police!

Chicken and melted cheese is always a recipe for success. Chicken and melted cheese plus a rich gravy, however, is the ultimate comfort trifecta. And since we’ve been feeling the late-winter blues lately, we’re looking for an extra warm and cozy meal. Seared chicken is topped with a umami-packed mushroom gravy and melty Monterey Jack cheese. On the side, there’s sour cream mashed potatoes and crispy-edged roasted carrots for maximum deliciousness (and for catching any runoff sauce).

Cook it once, eat it twice: tonight’s dinner extras transform into tomorrow’s lunch. That’s thanks to special added ingredients that can easily be heated up, even at the office (your coworkers will be amazed, trust us). For the first meal in this 2-in-1 recipe, cavatappi is smothered in a rich, beef and zucchini ragu, topped with Parmesan and chili flakes for a kick. The next day, this delicious ragu is transformed into a comforting classic, draped over a hearty baked potato and topped with tangy sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, and a dash of hot sauce. Talk about fully-loaded.

Depending on where you’re from, chiles rellenos can either be stuffed with meat or with cheese. The one constant is that they always feature a soft-roasted green chili that’s stuffed to the brim. We’re going the middle route and filling them with both. Inside these poblanos, there’s a warmly spiced mix of ground turkey and rice, plus a blanket of melted Monterey Jack cheese on top.
