Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Healthy Mexican Meatloaf.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, give a light spray of cooking spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your meatloaf doesn’t stick.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground turkey, ground chicken, black beans, corn, green chiles, salsa, taco seasoning, breadcrumbs, and egg whites.
Step 4
Use your hands or a spatula to mix everything together until it’s well blended and all the flavors are mingling beautifully.
Step 5
Once your mixture is ready, shape it into a loaf and gently place it in the prepared baking dish.
Step 6
Now, pour half of the enchilada sauce over the meatloaf, making sure it’s evenly coated for that extra burst of flavor.
Step 7
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 8
When the timer goes off, take the meatloaf out and drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce on top.
Step 9
Pop it back in the oven and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe 160°F (70°C).
Step 10
This is the moment when your kitchen will start to smell absolutely divine! Once it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Serve each slice with a generous spoonful of the pan sauce drizzled over the top, and enjoy a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
