Mexican meatballs

    Flavourful meatballs seasoned with Mexican spices, simmered in a zesty tomato sauce with chili, garlic, and cumin. Perfect for tacos, rice, or served with a side of beans for a hearty meal.

     

    Ingredients

    Ingredients (serve 6):

    1kg lean beef mince

    1 red onion, finely chopped

    1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander

    1 egg

    2 tablespoons seasoning of choice

    2 tablespoons olive oil

    1 red capsicum (bell pepper), halved, de-seeded, finely chopped

    2 garlic cloves, crushed

    1 x 800g can diced tomatoes

    Sour cream, to serve

    Fresh coriander sprigs, to serve

    For the guacamole:

    1 avocado, halved, stone removed, peeled

    1 tablespoon sour cream

    ½ ripe tomato, finely chopped

    ¼ small red onion, finely chopped

    Instructions

    Method:

    Combine the mince, onion, coriander, egg and half the taco seasoning in a bowl. Roll 1 tablespoonful of mince mixture into a ball. Transfer to a plate.

    Repeat with the remaining mince mixture.

    Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add one-third of meatballs and cook, turning, for 4-5 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a clean plate.

    Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining meatballs, reheating the pan between batches.

    Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Add capsicum and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until soft.

    Add the remaining taco seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic.

    Stir in the tomato. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

    Add the meatballs and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.

    To make the guacamole, use a fork to mash the avocado in a bowl. Stir in the sour cream, tomato and onion.

    Divide the meatballs among serving bowls. Top with guacamole, sour cream and coriander.
