Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Ground beef
• 1/2 lb Ground pork
• 1/3 cup White rice
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 cup Mint
• 1.5 lb Tomatoes
• 2 Chipotle in adobo
• 1/2 White onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 4 cups Chicken broth

Steps

1. Mix the meats with the rice, egg, minced onion, mint, and salt. The rice inside keeps the meatballs tender — the Mexican secret.
2. Roll into golf-ball-size albóndigas and chill 15 minutes so they hold their shape.
3. Blend the tomatoes, chipotles, and garlic into a smooth salsa and simmer 10 minutes.
4. Add the broth, bring to a simmer, and slip in the meatballs one by one.
5. Simmer 25 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the rice inside has puffed tender.
6. Serve in deep bowls with the chipotle broth, rice, and warm tortillas.
