The pantry and refrigerator likely already contain the components for this straightforward marinade. When the steak is done, sprinkle with any remaining marinade that has come to a boil and serve as a dipping sauce.

Delicious and easy! Nice twist to traditional meatloaf. I served with sliced avocados, Spanish rice and a salad.
I used 3/4 cup of mild salsa in place of the milk and the red sauce. I mixed in the eggs into the salsa then added the tortilla chips and set aside for about 10 minutes. After that, followed the recipe the rest of the way. YUMMY! Oh, and salsa at the topping versus ketchup.
It was delicious!! Very flavorful and not to spicy. Our son loved the a orange texture of the corn chips.
My family loved this! I doubled the recipe. Also, added chopped pickled jalapeños because I had only Mexican fiesta blend cheese. What a tasty meatloaf. Definitely will make this again.
So good! I added a small can of of mild peppers and some garlic (we think everything is better with garlic!) Used flavored chips and 4 cheese taco cheese. The kids don’t like meatloaf but cleaned their plates. Will absolutely make this again!
This is fantastic!
My husband made this for dinner tonight we loved that it was few ingredients and addition of tortilla chips made it amazing we plan on using this recipe from now on when we make meatloaf absolutely loved it
Pretty good. Made a glaze with ketchup, salsa and cumin, put on with about 25 minutes to go.
Yes, I didn’t have onion used onion powder. Put in a casserole pan put taco sauce all over the top. Really good recipe, my granddaughter doesn’t like meatloaf, but had two helping yum
Excellent! I prepared it as written. Anxious to see how the leftovers taste.
I used ground turkey which made the meatloaf softer and wetter. The flavor was soooooooo good. Can’t wait to make it again. Will probably add more crushed tortilla chips next time
I used quality ingredients and we HATED this. It was awful and we LOVE spicy food and Mexican ANYTHING. This was just gross.
I added more cheese, and made a little trough on the inside with cheese melted inside the middle and for the hot sauce I Cholula Original Hot sauce. It came out very good. I think next time I will layer the cheese, put meat on bottom then a layer of cheese, meat, cheese… And then make some kind of hot sauce and corn chip topping, it needed some kind of sauce on top…
Amazing and very easy recipe. I add instant Walmart Spanish 90 sec rice, pinto beans and street white corn .
Everyone loved it, even my picky husband. A new family favorite.
Delicious and very moist!!! Tasted just like a taco
wow this was really good! definitely will make again. The Kansas came out in me and I had to top it with a sauce, or risk being exiled from the state, so I mixed together salsa a little ketchup, and taco spice and put it in top before baking. I also made the mixture a day before and kept in the fridge and baked it tonight. seriously good and easy recipe! thank you!
awesome tonsof flavor
I liked it and so did my husband. I will make it again. I think I smashed the tortillas a little small so I won’t the next time. Overall it was good just different. I’m a very picky eater but my husband saw this recipe and wanted to try it.
I made this exactly as the recipe called for, it took longer to get done and was very bland. It sounds good but was not!!
I’ve made this twice this week already! I made it with ground turkey so I increased the taco seasoning (homemade seasoning) by quite a bit. Even the picky kids ate it! I also made it into 2 loaves and placed them on a foil covered cookie sheet just for ease. It took 45 min to cook at 350. I served it with salsa and sour cream. Thanks for another recipe to add to my arsenal!
