A Mexican flavor-inspired chicken meatloaf. Chicken makes this lower in fat than regular meatloaf, and adding pork keeps the meatloaf from tasting dry.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups herb-seasoned croutons: 1 piece
  • salsa: 1 jar (12 ounce jar)
  • olive oil: 1 Tbsp
  • onion: 1 cup (finely chopped)
  • jalapeño pepper: 1 piece (minced)
  • garlic: 3 clove (minced)
  • ground chicken: 1 pound
  • ground pork: 0.5 pound
  • pepperjack cheese: 1 cup (shredded)
  • cilantro: 0.25 cup (minced)
  • egg: 1 piece
  • ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix: 1 piece
  • Worcestershire sauce: 1 Tbsp
  • barbecue sauce: 2 Tbsp
  • brown sugar: 2 Tbsp

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. Remove the foil tent for the last 10 minutes of baking. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of loaf should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Remove meatloaf from the oven, cover with foil, and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
