Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ cup yellow onion peeled and chopped
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 14.5 ounces beef broth
- 15 ounces canned black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- 1 cup canned whole-kernel corn drained
- ½ cup picante sauce
- ¼ cup tortilla chips crushed
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1 ½ cups Mexican cheese blend shredded
Toppings
- sour cream
- tomato diced
- cilantro chopped
- avocado Pitted and diced
- Jalapeño sliced
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Add the oil to a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until tender.
- Stir in the rice and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is toasted and has a slightly nutty smell.
- Pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
- Uncover the rice and stir in black beans. Set aside to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line two loaf pans (or a 9-inch x 13-inch baking dish) with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, corn, picante sauce, crushed chips, and taco seasoning. Add the rice mixture and mix until evenly combined.
- Divide the turkey mixture between the two loaf pans and gently press the tops into an even layer.
- Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes. Then, sprinkle half the cheese on top of each meatloaf. Return to the oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and an instant-read thermometer inserted near the center of the loaf registers 165 degrees F.
- Take the meatloaves out of the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Cut the meatloaf into slices, then plate them with your chosen side dishes. Top the meatloaf with sour cream, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, and/or avocado if desired. You can serve some lime wedges for squeezing on the side too. Serve warm.

Notes
- Nutritional information is for the meatloves only and does not include optional toppings.
- I usually cut each meatloaf into 6 slices. If you're using a 9x13 dish the slices will be much wider. I recommend cutting down the center lengthwise first and then into slices.
