3 6-inch corn tortillas, torn into small pieces |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 lb ground lean beef |
1/2 lb ground lean pork |
1/2 lb smoked or cured ham, ground or minced finely in food processor |
1/4 cup chopped onion (1 small) |
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon dry oregano leaves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
1 cup mexican red sauce (enchilada sauce) |
1 cup beef broth |
Directions:
1. Place tortilla pieces and milk in large bowl; let stand 15 minutes.
2. Mix in remaining ingredients except red sauce and broth.
3. Shape into 1-inch balls.
4. Heat red sauce and broth to boiling in 10-inch skillet; reduce heat.
5. Add meatballs.
6. Cover and simmer until done, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring/turning occasionally. Serve with beans and rice.
7. Note: for a wonderful red sauce, try using Rich and Flavorful Enchilada Sauce #103145! :)
8. This is an adopted recipe.
