Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 can(s) (6 ounces) Tomato Paste
1 can(s) (4 ounces ) Green Chillies
1/2 c Salsa (I use Pace's Medium-chuncky style, it's a staple in my home)
1 Tbsp Cumin
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Red Pepper
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Chili powder
1 lb Lean Ground Turkey
1/2 lb Chorizo (casing removed)
1 ea Egg
1 c Blue Corn Tortilla chips (crushed) plus extra chips for topping
2 ea Cloves of garlic (mined)
1/2 Medium sized onion (diced fine)
1/2 Medium Red Pepper(seeded and membranes removed diced fine)
1/2 c Cilantro leaves (chopped)
1 c Shredded Mexican-blend Cheese ( Chedder will work fine)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine tomato paste,green chillies, salsa and 1/2 cup water in medium sauce pan. Add cumin,garlic powder,chili powder, red pepper and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir well. Simmer over low heat. Meanwhile, place meat, egg, remaining salt, crushed chips, garlic, onion, bell pepper, cilantro and 1/2 cup of the simmering sauce and mix well.
  • 2. Place mixture in bread-loaf pan. Using your fingers, make a trench lengthwise in the middle of the meat mixture, leaving an equal amount of meat around edges. Fill trench with cheese, then fold meat over to seal the cavity. Top with the remaining sauce, then a handful of crumbled corn chips .
  • 3. Bake at 350 degrees for (1)Hour. Turn out of pan onto plate, then flip over on another plate and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • 4. Note: Instead of the Turkey and the Chorizo meats, you can substiute 1 1/2 lbs of Ground beef or you can combine 1 lb. of ground beef and 1/2 lb of Breakfast pan sausage (Jimmy Dean or Owens is good).

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this meatloaf was just the right amount of heat for me. The enchilada sauce on top is delicious and really makes the dish.

This meatloaf is a great way to use up leftover chili. I love that I can just dump everything in the slow cooker and let it cook away. It's also a great recipe for a weeknight meal because it's so easy to prepare.
