I was inspired to create this from a recipe I saw on the Weight Watchers site. I started with their ideas and tweaked it some to make it my own. FYI, although this is a “Mexican” meatloaf, it is not spicy. It just has a more Mexican flavor to it from the enchilada sauce (instead of ketchup). Enjoy!
