Gluten-Free Mini Tex-Mex Meatloaves
Ah, the classic meatloaf. I love to make it, but my grandkids fear to eat it – until now. These Gluten-Free Mini Tex-Mex Meatloaves are a game changer for family dinners. Plus, they only take 20 minutes to cook instead of an hour!
These meatloaves are also great if you’re needing to use up some extra chips (I used Xochitl tortilla chips). The ingredients for the mixture are so simple, too: the crushed chips, beef, onion, bell pepper, cheese, eggs, taco seasoning and salsa. I find that the Xochitl Chunky Stone Ground Salsa is best to give the meatloaves a perfect texture with a bit of spice.
Don’t forget to top your mini meatloaves with sour cream and salsa. I also like to stick an extra tortilla chip on top. Leftovers make great snacks, and they even taste good cold!
