Steps:
- For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a heavy skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables, ground beef, chorizo and green chiles.
- In a medium bowl, combine the salt, cumin, black pepper, cayenne and eggs. Add the ketchup and sour cream. Mix well with a fork, then pour it on top of the meat mixture. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly with clean hands.
- Put the mixture into a loaf pan. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully pour off any accumulated pan juices.
- For the salsa-glaze: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree, sugar, mustard, green chiles and chipotle chile. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, mix thoroughly the ground beef and taco seasoning; set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat the refried beans over medium low heat until they are completely heated through.
- Place the ground beef mixture on a large piece of foil. Press the mixture into an approximately 1 inch thick square shape. Spread the refried beans evenly over the top of the flattened beef. Layer the flour tortillas on top of the refried beans, trimming the edges to fit the square. Layer tortillas with salsa and Cheddar cheese, staying 1/2 to 1 inch away from edges of the square.
- Gently roll the layered beef into a Swiss roll shape, pressing and compacting the loaf as you go. Pinch and seal the edges. Wrap in the foil and seal.
- Bake in preheated oven 40 to 45 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center. Cut loaf in half to test for doneness, if necessary.

We raise hogs, so pork is something I cook with a lot. These miniature meat loaves made with ground pork and Italian herbs are full of flavor. Our children especially like the topping of ketchup and Parmesan cheese. -Patricia Staudt, Marble Rock, Iowa

MEXICAN STYLE MEATLOAF
From a Reynolds Aluminum Wrap recipe booklet. I find it unique by using crushed tortilla chips instead of a type of bread crumb. Another quick meal to throw together and have on the table within an hour. (Any leftover meatloaf can be crumbled and used as a taco filling the next day for fun too)

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: For the best results, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. This will give the meatloaf a good balance of flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf. Chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic are all good choices.
- Use a loaf pan that is the right size: The meatloaf should fill the pan without being too crowded. If the pan is too big, the meatloaf will be too thin and may not cook evenly.
- Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: 350 degrees Fahrenheit is a good temperature for cooking meatloaf. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
Conclusion:
Mexican-style meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
