Ingredients:

Serving

28 oz can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, divided
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup tortilla chips, crushed
1 medium onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika or 1 tsp chili powder
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 cup corn kernel
1/2 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded (2 oz monterey jack with jalapeno)
corn tortilla (for serving) (optional)
sliced avocado
chopped green onion
chopped fresh cilantro
corn
lime wedge

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine crushed tomatoes (minus 1/2 cup for the meatloaf), green pepper, green onions, fresh cilantro, jalapeno lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup crushed tomatoes and crushed tortilla chips; stir in onions, garlic, cumin, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add ground beef, ground pork, and corn; mix well and form into a round or oblong loaf to fit slow cooker.
Arrange three 18-inch long strips of aluminum foil, folded double so they criss-cross; place meatloaf in the center and transfer to slow cooker.
Cook on low 5 to 6 hours or on high 2 1/2 to 3 hours, covered (instant read thermometer will read 160 degrees F).
Carefully use aluminum to lift meatloaf to a cutting board; carefully remove aluminum, sprinkle with cheese, and let stand 10 minutes.
Serve with Smoky Tomato Salsa and garnishes, if desired.
OVEN VARIATION: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place shaped loaf in shallow baking pan. Bake for 1 1/4 hours or until an internal 160 degrees F on an instant read meat thermometer. Sprinkle with cheese, let rest 10 minutes and serve with garnishes, if desired.
