Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your meatloaf. Make sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Don't overmix the meat mixture: Overmixing the meat mixture can make the meatloaf tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is cooked through: The internal temperature of the meatloaf should reach 160°F (71°C).
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices to redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
