This jelly-roll approach to making meatloaf is really easy and tasty, especially when filled with your favorite cheese and sauces. This Mexican variety includes refried beans and tortillas to make it somewhat of a meatloaf burrito!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 package taco seasoning mix , 1.25 ounce
- 1 can refried beans , 16 ounce
- 4 flours tortillas , 8 inch
- 0.75 cups fresh salsa
- 0.5 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
In a medium bowl, mix thoroughly the ground beef and taco seasoning; set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat the refried beans over medium low heat until they are completely heated through.

Place the ground beef mixture on a large piece of foil. Press the mixture into an approximately 1 inch thick square shape. Spread the refried beans evenly over the top of the flattened beef. Layer the flour tortillas on top of the refried beans, trimming the edges to fit the square. Layer tortillas with salsa and Cheddar cheese, staying 1/2 to 1 inch away from edges of the square.

4
Gently roll the layered beef into a Swiss roll shape, pressing and compacting the loaf as you go. Pinch and seal the edges. Wrap in the foil and seal.

Bake in preheated oven 40 to 45 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center. Cut loaf in half to test for doneness, if necessary.

Pear and Pomegranate Salad
This pear and pomegranate salad is a fall and winter favorite. I'm always eager for pomegranates to be in season so I can make this again. I make my own pomegranate juice by pressing the seeds against a metal sieve.
Irresistible Whole Wheat Challah
Warm and light, fresh out of the oven with butter and salt sprinkled on top, it is a delicious gift or dessert for any occasion. Best with whole wheat, but just white flour or a mixture works. It is easy and fun, but takes all day. Trust me, it is so worth it!
Spicy Guacamole
This party-time guacamole is spicy, quick, and relatively healthy. Refrigerate guacamole with plastic wrap against the surface of the dip to prolong shelf life. Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite dipping accompaniment.
