Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a meatloaf pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together tortilla chip crumbs, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, Kosher salt and white pepper. Add salsa, stir to moisten and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef, breaking apart as you go. Top with beat eggs and shredded pepper jack cheese.
  4. Using clean hands, lightly toss. Do not over mix. Overmixing will result in tough meatloaf.
  5. Gently pack into meatloaf pan. If you don't have a meatloaf pan, you can form it into a rectangle on an aluminum foil lined rimmed baking sheet.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, stir together ketchup, lime juice, onion powder and salt. Set aside.
  8. In a medium skillet, heat melt butter over medium heat. Add corn, onion, fine sea salt and smoked paprika. Cook until onions are soft and corn is a bright yellow. Remove and set aside until ready to serve.
  9. Remove meatloaf and brush ketchup mixture over top of meatloaf. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes uncovered or until a meat thermometer registers at 160 degrees.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  11. Serve with a serving of corn relish.
  12. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was! 

Notes

  • If you're trying to be a bit healthier, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken in your southwest meatloaf instead. These tend to become a bit dry, however, so I still like to use a mixture of ground beef in there.
