    This recipe turned out well but did take a bit of prep work. The sauce has a great flavor! I think the masa harina gave the meatballs an odd texture. I'll probably mix masa with the spices then add the water so that the masa gets completely mixed in instead of chunks here and there. Overall they were good.

    Mexican Meatballs, , This recipe turned out well but did take a bit of prep work The sauce has a great flavor! I think the masa harina gave the meatballs an odd texture I’ll probably mix masa with the spices then add the water so that the masa gets completely mixed in instead of chunks here and there Overall they were good , This took some work but the end result was well worth it I thought I made the tomato puree the night before and refrigerated until ready to use I made and baked the meatballs in the morning, then did the rest that evening before our party Turned out brilliantly and tasted delicious A smoky chipotle flavor along with the cumin made for a great taste sensation A hit with my party guests as well Thanks Nurse Di for a unique appetizer
