In today's Dining with Duria, Angelica is putting a twist on a classic recipe.

Fiesta-Style Meatloaf

Ingredients:

2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 ½ cups of crushed tortilla chips
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cups of salsa + ½ cup of salsa (recommend the medium or Hot flavor)
2 eggs
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can green chiles (127 ml) (I recommend the medium spice)
3 green onions, chopped
OPTIONAL: Extra cheese, sour cream, avocado, black olives for serving

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, add ground beef, crushed tortilla chips, cheese, 2/3 cup salsa, eggs, taco seasoning and green chiles. It’s easier to use your hands, so get messy! Combine the mixture until everything is mixed together well.

3. Add a lead to the loaf pan. Place in oven for 1 to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until meat is cooked.

4. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before flipping over onto a serving platter. Spread ½ cup salsa and green onions on top. Serve hot.

5. OPTIONAL: Feel free to add your favorite taco toppings to accompany the meatloaf, like extra cheese, sour cream, avocado, or black olives.
