My kids (and us, too!) LOVE Taco Tuesday! We really just plain love Mexican food in general. Two weeks ago on Tuesday, we had tacos, this past Tuesday I mixed it up and tried out this Taco Meatloaf.
It was bizarre how it had all of the flavors of a taco, but yet cutting into a meatloaf.
It was super-duper easy to make, and you could totally do it ahead and bake it later on or the next day even. Served up with all of the fixings for tacos, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, black olives and avocado (if you have it, we didn’t — **insert sad face here**)
So, next time Taco Tuesday rolls around (like tomorrow??) How about mixing things up in the kitchen and making some MEXICAN MEATLOAF!! Be sure and let me know what you thought if you try it!! Love to hear your comments and feedback.

You know why this deserves recipe of the year? Because you took the same ingredients that millions of people (every week) use to make traditional tacos — and you made it easier and more fun. (And healthier too!) This is just brilliant, and I’ll be making it for the family tomorrow evening. 🙂
Michaela Kenkel says
Adam, this comment totally just made my Monday!! Thank you!! I hope your family likes it like mine did! 🙂
Michelle says
Michaela, I just found your blog. My husband and I love tacos and my husband is OBSeSSED with my meatloaf. I can’t wait to give this a try. Who knows, maybe the 1 year old will give it a try too 🙂 I will come back and let you know how it goes!
Michaela Kenkel says
Welcome!! I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you do visit often! 🙂

Found you through Adam – this meatloaf is brilliant (I’ll probably add a few jalapenos, ’cause that’s kinda my thing)! I’m pinning and trying the recipe tomorrow.
Cheers!
Michaela Kenkel says
Jalapenos would be OUTSTANDING in this!! i hope you come back and tell me what you think!! Thanks for commenting! <3

Well, I totally spaced out coming here last night to let you know that this recipe is my post for December 2014 Secret Recipe Club. This is a great idea. I used your Homemade Taco Seasoning in it, and the meatloaf was delicious. I will be making it often. I also made the Homemade BBQ Sauce and the Pork Sausage Meatloaf. Also both recipes I will make often. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great week and a wonderful holiday season.

Probably a silly question, but is the “1/2 sour cream” supposed to have “cup” after it? Just making sure I have the right unit 🙂 Thanks!
Michaela Kenkel says
Yes!! Typo!! That’s fixed! Thanks for the heads up!
