Step-by-Step Instructions for Mexican Meatloaf

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheddar cheese, and salsa, reserving half a cup of salsa.
Add the eggs, taco seasoning, and green chilies, then mix thoroughly without overworking.
Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf and ensuring it fills the corners.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Top with reserved salsa and garnish with green onions before serving.
