For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a finely diced onion or bell pepper to the meat mixture. Feel free to adjust the amount of taco seasoning to your preference. For a spicier kick, use a hot taco seasoning or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. To ensure the meatloaf stays moist, don't overbake it. The internal temperature is key! Make-ahead tip: Assemble the meatloaf, top with half the enchilada sauce, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed the next day. Serving suggestions: Serve with a side of Mexican rice, refried beans, and a dollop of sour cream or guacamole for a complete and satisfying meal.
