Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chipotle peppers, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • While the meatloaves bake, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir for one minute.
  • Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
  • Remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
  • Serve each mini meatloaf alongside a portion of the cilantro lime rice.

Use a fork to gently mix the meatloaf ingredients so the loaves stay tender instead of dense. If you want less heat, remove the seeds from the chipotle peppers before chopping. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of water to keep the rice from drying out.
