Ingredients

  • 1 pound chorizo
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips
  • 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 4 ounces diced green chiles
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 jalapeno (sliced)

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 325°. Cut a piece of parchment paper and line a bread pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chorizo, beef, tortilla chips, eggs, taco seasoning, cumin, green chiles, onion, and garlic.
  • Add half the meat to the bottom of the pan and press a well down the middle of the meat. Fill the well with cheese, then top with the remaining meat and smooth it out.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 50 minutes and check for doneness with a meat thermometer. 160° is done. It may need an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Pour salsa over the meatloaf before serving and top with sliced jalapeno.

Notes

Like it hot? Use a spicier salsa and a spicy taco seasoning.
