The flavours of a delicious chili con carne are all here in this meat loaf. The canned green chilies and chipotle chilies in adobo sauce are available at most grocery stores. If you can't find the green chilies, grill two or three jalapeño chilies over a flame until the skins are black; peel, seed and chop
them.
