Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup uncooked long grain rice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 1 14 1/2 ounce can beef broth
• 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 pounds uncooked ground turkey
• 1 cup frozen or canned whole kernel corn, thawed or drained
• 1/2 cup bottled picante sauce
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips or corn chips
• 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
• Shredded Mexican-style four cheese blend, chopped tomato, snipped fresh cilantro, sliced fresh jalapeno pepper, and/or lime wedges (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. In a large saucepan cook onion in hot oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in rice and garlic. Cook and stir for 5 minutes or until rice is brown. Add beef broth. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, just until rice is tender. Stir in beans; set aside to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl combine turkey, corn, picante sauce, crushed chips, and taco seasoning. Stir in rice mixture. In prepared baking pan lightly pat meat mixture to a 10x5-inch loaf. Bake for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted near center of loaf registers 165 degrees F.

3. Let meat loaf stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, tomato, cilantro, and/or sliced jalapeno. Serve with lime wedges.
