This gluten-free meatloaf goes beyond tradition. In this recipe, the Mexican spices combined with black beans, bell pepper, cheese and cilantro put a new twist on this meatloaf making it moist and flavourful. There are many ways you can serve meatloaf. Many like it simple with mashed potatoes, but in modern cuisine, this Mexican meatloaf is exceptional when paired with spicy salsa and steamed veggies or a light green salad. If you have any leftovers, add the meatloaf to your sandwich using lettuce leaves instead of bread and have a healthy high protein lunch. There is no need to re-heat the meatloaf, it tastes delicious cold as well
