Notes
If you’ve never heard of chorizo (or used it) before, that’s okay! It’s a spicy Mexican sausage and you can find it in the butcher section of your local grocery store. This recipe uses just a little bit, but if you REALLY like things spicy, you can always use more!
I use a mix of ground turkey, ground beef, and chorizo for this Mexican Meatloaf, but you can use all turkey or all beef if you like.
