How to Cook Appetizing Mexican Albondigas

Mexican Albondigas. My recipe for Mexican meatballs, or albondigas Mexicanas, are made with a combination of beef and pork. The meat is then mixed with a variety of seasonings and white rice and then cooked in a tomato-chipotle salsa. The meatballs are cooked in the salsa along with potatoes, carrots, and/or squash.

It was bland and was missing a whole lot of veggies. I use corn fresh off the cob, squash, fresh green beans, and way more seasonings. The idea is to flavor the meatballs with fresh mint and then let them simmer in a sweet tomato sauce. You can have Mexican Albondigas using 16 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
