Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
6 ounces soft Mexican chorizo, removed from casing and crumbled
Two 4-ounce cans diced roasted green chiles
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup sour cream or Mexican sour cream
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish, optional
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 medium white onion, minced
1 cup tomato puree
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
One 4-ounce can diced roasted green chiles
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
Kosher salt

Steps:

For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a heavy skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
In a large bowl, combine the sauteed vegetables, ground beef, chorizo and green chiles.
In a medium bowl, combine the salt, cumin, black pepper, cayenne and eggs. Add the ketchup and sour cream. Mix well with a fork, then pour it on top of the meat mixture. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and mix thoroughly with clean hands.
Put the mixture into a loaf pan. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully pour off any accumulated pan juices.
For the salsa-glaze: Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree, sugar, mustard, green chiles and chipotle chile. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Slice the meatloaf and arrange on a platter. Spoon the salsa-glaze over the meatloaf, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 Loaf, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/2 sweet onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced (stem removed)
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 garlic clove, diced
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 pinch cayenne (optional)
2 eggs, whisked
0.5 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1/2 cup corn kernel, from 1 ear of corn, cooked
6 ounces ground chorizo sausage
1 lb ground chicken
vegetable oil
salt & pepper (to taste)
salsa (optional)

Steps:

Pre-heat oven to 350° degrees F.
NOTE: I like to grill the corn for a bit of a charred taste, but you can cook it however you desire. Or you can use corn from the can.
Heat medium pot, add about 1 tablespoons oil. Once oil is heated add onions, jalapeno, & green pepper. Cook until semi-soft, about 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook about another minute. Remove from pan and set aside.
In same pan cook chorizo as directed on package, usually about 10-12 minutes, add tomato paste. Remove from heat and drain if needed. Let cool so it can be added with ground chicken without cooking it in bowl.
In large bowl combine bread crumbs & spices, mix well. Add ground chicken & eggs, mix well. Add cooled vegies, including corn and beans. Add chorizo and mix well. Form into meatloaf.
Place in lightly greased loaf pan and bake covered with foil for 1 hour.
You can check internal temperature for 160° since you are using chicken, let rest for 5-10 minutes for temperature to reach 165° and then serve.
NOTE: You can serve this with salsa for an extra kick in flavor.

Tips:

To ensure even cooking, make sure the chicken and chorizo are evenly distributed throughout the meatloaf mixture.
For a more flavorful meatloaf, use a variety of spices and herbs. Some good options include paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
If you don't have chorizo on hand, you can substitute ground beef or pork sausage.
To keep the meatloaf moist, add some bread crumbs or oats to the mixture.
Top the meatloaf with your favorite glaze or sauce before baking. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
