Step 1

Mix together in a large mixing bowl the ground beef with the minced garlic, cilantro, pepper, salt, hot sauce and taco seasoning.

Step 2

Fold in the onions, peppers, corn, drained tomatoes, egg and 1 1/2 cups of the crushed tortilla chips.

Step 3

Form into a loaf and place in baking dish (I used a 9 x 13).  Bake in preheated 350 degree oven, uncovered, for 30 minutes.  Remove and add the salsa, crushed tortilla chips and cheese to the top of the meatloaf.  Raise the oven heat to 375 and bake for 35 more minutes uncovered.  Makes 8 to 10 servings.
