Meatloaf is a very popular dish in various cultures, with a significant tradition in North American cuisine. Its origin dates back to the combination of ground meat with spices, which is molded into a loaf shape and baked, then served with different sauces and side dishes. In Latin America, this dish can be found under different names. For example, in Mexico, it is often confused with variations of picadillo or baked meatballs, although there is no universal name for this particular style that combines meatloaf with typical burrito ingredients. In countries like Argentina and Chile, it might be colloquially called "pan de carne con frijoles" (meatloaf with beans), while in Central America, they maintain the focus on the mixture of meat and spices, adapting it with local ingredients. This dish is a fusion that reflects the versatility of homestyle cooking and the influence of flavors from the Southwestern United States.
