Albondigas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Albondigas

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Once the meatballs are cooked, place them in taco shells. Top each taco with shredded pepper jack cheese, fresh cilantro, and roasted tomato-ancho salsa.
