Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef
• 1 pound Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup Salsa
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 1 Jalapeños, diced (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Place a large piece of parchment paper (or plastic wrap) on your work surface. Transfer the meat mixture onto the parchment paper and pat it into a rectangular shape, approximately 12x10 inches.

Step 4

Spread the salsa evenly over the meat rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro (if using), and diced jalapeños (if using) over the salsa.

Step 5

Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the meat mixture into a tight log, starting from one of the shorter sides. Seal the ends and edges to ensure the filling stays inside.

Step 6

Transfer the meatloaf roll onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste with water to create a glaze. Brush this mixture evenly over the meatloaf roll.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Slice into thick rounds and serve with extra salsa, your favorite sides, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
