Ground Chicken Mexican Meatballs With Chipotle And Adobo
Serve these with rice and salsa verde, in a tortilla with taco fixings, on nachos, rolled in enchiladas, dipped in spicy cheese sauce or added to tortilla soup.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Use a cookie scoop to portion out mixture into about 48 small balls; and roll into shaped meatballs. Freeze or cook.
*Roll with wet hands to keep the mixture from sticking. Rewet hands with water as needed.
To sauté, heat 2 teaspoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add meatballs taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Turn frequently to brown on all sides and cook through, about 8 to 10 min.
To bake, heat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil and add meatballs, cook small meatballs about 25 minutes.
Serve as desired, or with rice, Cilantro and Jalapeno Salsa Verde, and other salsas.
Notes
Nutrition is per meatball.Delicious with easy Cilantro and Jalapeno Salsa Verde•These meatballs freeze nicely and will be ready for cooking when you are!To cook frozen meatballs, place on a foil-lined pan and cover pan with foil so the meatballs can cook covered for a while. Bake at 350ºF for 25 minutes and then remove the foil covering. Bake until internal temperature is 170ºF on an instant-read thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes more.Try my other meatball recipes:
