CHEESY STUFFED TACO MEATBALLS



Cheesy Stuffed Taco Meatballs image

The secret ingredient in these apps is a link of fresh chorizo-the spicy Mexican pork sausage (not to be confused with the cured Spanish kind). It does double duty here, adding a zesty taco kick and keeping the meatballs extra moist.

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 10 servings (3 meatballs per person)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 pound ground beef
1 link fresh chorizo (3 to 4 ounces), casing removed
1 large egg
1/4 cup fine yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon granulated onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups corn tortilla chips
2 ounces Cheddar, cut into 30 cubes just under 1/2 inch thick
Shredded iceberg lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Mix together the ground beef, chorizo, egg, cornmeal, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, oregano, granulated onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper with your hands in a large bowl. Scoop the mixture into tablespoon-sized portions. For each, press 1 cube of cheese into the center, press the meat around it to seal, and roll into a smooth ball.
  • Put the chips in a plastic bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin. Drop 3 or 4 meatballs at a time into the bag, and roll them around to lightly coat with the crushed chips. Arrange the coated meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, and bake until the outsides are browned and the cheese is melted inside, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Serve the meatballs on a platter over a bed of shredded lettuce with guacamole, pico de gallo and sour cream on the side.

EASIEST TACO MEATBALLS



Easiest Taco Meatballs image

Make and share this Easiest Taco Meatballs recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Vina7737

Categories     Meat

Time 4h5m

Yield 6-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bag frozen precooked meatballs (or use an equal amount of homemade meatballs, cooked)
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) can pork and beans (cheapest kind!)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can tomato soup (not tomato sauce!)
chopped hot pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Puree seasoning mix, pork& beans, onion, green pepper, and soup in blender or food processor. Add a few ounces of water if the sauce is too thick to pour, but you don't want it runny. Cooking in the crockpot will also add moisture.
  • Put meatballs (frozen is okay) in the crockpot and pour the pureed sauce over the top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • Optional: Add chopped hot peppers and/or hot sauce to taste. I usually add the peppers while cooking and/or hot sauce after.
  • These can be served in multiple ways: as appetizers with toothpicks and queso dip, if desired; wrapped in tortillas with sour cream, shredded cheese, tomatoes, etc.; on top of shredded lettuce with salsa, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, crushed tortilla chips, etc. (a kind of taco salad); as a type of southwestern hero sandwich in crusty rolls with cheese, tomato, and lettuce; the main course for supper with corn bread and salad to accompany; and/or any other way you can imagine.
  • These are delicious--much better than you would think just reading the ingredient list! Everyone who eats these meatballs (in any form) love them and almost always ask for the recipe.
  • The standard question is:"Should I really use the cheapest pork and beans? "The answer is YES! For some reason they give the best texture to the sauce.
  • If you want more of a baked bean flavor, feel free to add a touch of molasses and/or brown sugar, but I like it best without.
