Mexican Meatballs or “Albondigas” in Spanish, are known for being a very homely dish in Mexico, meant to bring comfort and a lovely everyday meal for your family. An albondigas recipe is almost always accompanied by fresh homemade beans, rice and warm tortillas. They can be served with a broth or tomato based sauce, and with vegetables such as courgette, potatoes and carrots. It’s a very humble and nourishing dish. For our Mexican meatballs recipe, we made a tomato based sauce with Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste for a delicious smoky and spicy taste. We then added homemade chicken or vegetable stock to enhance the flavour of the albondigas sauce even more. Add potatoes to bulk up your authentic Mexican meatballs, and carrots as well, if you like. In terms of making meatballs, they are made with only a few ingredients. We only add the olive oil and oregano to help bind it all together. Don’t use eggs though, as this often changes the taste of the meatballs. We recommend serving this easy meatballs dish for your family with a side of our Mexican Rice recipe and some warm Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps on the side.
