Mexicali Meat Loaf Recipe

Mexicali Meat Loaf

From craftyazgirl 16 years ago

This is a new twist on meat loaf, spicy. The corn husks help keep the meat loaf moist. You can substitute ground turkey for the beef if desired.

Large corn husks (soak husk well, dry with paper towels, then flatten before using) shopping list
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef shopping list
1 cup bread crumbs shopping list
1/4 cup chili sauce ( I used Heinz chili sauce) shopping list
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro shopping list
2 large eggs shopping list
1 medium yellow onion, sliced shopping list
2 roasted red peppers, halved shopping list
4 jalapeno peppers (stems removed, if you want less heat remove seeds and stuff with black olives) shopping list
2 cups frozen corn kernels shopping list
2 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed shopping list

Prepare corn husks according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350.F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with corn husks.
In a large bowl, combine beef, read crumbs, chili sauce, cilantro, and eggs. Mix well. Spray a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add onion; cook, stirring, over medium heat until golden, about 10 minutes.
On a sheet of waxed paper, shape beef mixture into a 7x 4-inch rectangle. Press red peppers on top. Spoon onion over red peppers. Arrange jalapeno peppers down center.
Starting with a long side, roll up meat loaf jelly-roll style.
Place, seam-side down, in prepared pan. Fold corn husks over meat loaf. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour.
Transfer pan to wire rack; let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, cook corn and beans for 5 minutes. Spoon corn mixture onto serving platter. Place meat loaf in center. Fold back corn husks. Serve immediately.
