When I make Mexican meatloaf, it’s really a treat for my family. I get to serve rice and beans with this dish, which changes it up from the typical meatloaf, potato, and veggie meal. Also, I love having leftovers with this meal! Let me tell you why. One word, TACO! I use the leftover meat to make some very delicious tacos the next day! This recipe makes for some tasty leftovers!

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds ground beef or turkey (I use 7% fat)
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup Great Value breadcrumbs (unseasoned)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup grated Kraft sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 3/4 cup Tostitos salsa, divided
- 1 cup packed spinach leaves, chopped
- 1 (4 oz.) can chopped Rotel green chilies
- 1 teaspoon McCormick’s chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- extra cheese and salsa, for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients (using just 1/2 cup salsa). Mix well. I start with a fork to get it going then use my hands so I don’t overwork it.
- Turn the meatloaf mixture out onto an ungreased baking sheet and shape into a loaf, about 8 inches long.
- Top with remaining 1/4 cup salsa and bake at 400 for 45 minutes.
- Remove and let stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
