Directions
Mexican Meatballs in Chipotle Chili Sauce, for Mexican food lovers Preparing this one day ahead brings out more the flavors From Chicago Cooks’ Mary Wilkinson , These make for a fantastic tasting meatballs! Going to be using more of that flat leaf parsley when making meatballs for sure! Other than using a touch less cinnamon (easing the family into using it in main dishes) and using regular canned chili peppers because that was what I had on hand I made as directed with wonderful results Love those recipes of yours!, We enjoyed this easy, flavorful recipe for dinner last night used the canned fire roasted tomatoes, about 5 chipotle chilies in adobo, and Mexican oregano I think next time I would halve the cinnamon to suit our personal tastes as it was very pronounced in this dish This was nice over jasmine rice Made for ZWT5
