8 servings

  • 5 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 4 fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 5 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup cooked rice

Instructions

  • Blend tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 clove garlic, and adobo sauce in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir tomato mixture in hot oil until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir in chicken stock and continue to cook for 10 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, blend tomatillos, eggs, 1 small onion, chipotle peppers, 2 cloves garlic, chicken bouillon, and cilantro in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add beef, pork, and rice; stir to combine. Roll meat mixture into walnut-sized balls.
  • Transfer meatballs to tomato mixture; simmer until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
