I havent had a chance to taste it but there was no way i could roll that however i can say that i tried so i just layered it exactly how it was said to layer before the roll adding an extra layer of cheese on top i also added a can of green chiles drained and black olives, im going ahead and cooking it for an hour to make sure that it does cook all the way through and i did shape it into a loaf with alumanim foil all around it.

Very yummy meatloaf! I made a few changes so I could use ingredients I already had, and they worked okay. I added some garlic salt and chopped onion to the meat mixture, I heated and mashed some kidney beans instead of refried beans, and I used a bottle of La Victoria salsa verde mixed with some sour cream. Like everyone else said, I had a really hard time rolling it, and it crumbled on serving, but the flavor was delicious!

Took much longer to get done than recipe indicated. I would not wrap completely in foil next time.

This seemed weird to me at first and we needed a bit of practice with the rolling part, but now this twist on meatloaf is a monthly favorite. I use chipotle refried beans and my own taco seasoning spice blend to give it more kick. I also use ground sirloin, 2% cheese, and two low-carb wraps to help keep it healthy.

Unimpressed. I generally don't review recipes, but this one was not forgettable. The flavors aren't bad, but the appearance was atrocious! I would highly recommend making a 1/3-1/2 inch thick slab of meat rather than 1". By the time you add refried beans & tortillas, it is nearly impossibly to roll. I would make a rectagular shape 7x14 type size, 2 tortillas thick on each end. All in all, it can be saved, but I was not impressed. The flavors didn't blend as well as I would have hoped, altho better rolling technique will help. Best of luck & don't try it on company!

My husband and I both liked the taste of this, but I think the procedure needs tweaking. I found the layers slid as I tried to roll it, and it didn't turn out very pretty. I had the foresight to put the foil wrapped roll into a loaf pan, and it's a good thing I did since the foil leaked a lot of liquid. I will make this again, but layer the meat, then beans, tortillas, cheese and the remainder of the meat in a loaf pan, top it with the salsa, and bake it for an hour. Oh, and I only used half the beans in the meatloaf and served the rest on the side.

Not bad. But I would stick with bread crumbs. It was to soft and crumbly. But it tasted great!

This was not what I was expecting. One good thing is the kids liked it.

My daughter loves this recipe, and she's picky! We use the hard taco shells or nachos inside the meatloaf because that's what she likes, and it turns out really good. Tried it with jalapeno's, olives and some hot sauce and just as yummy!
