Mexican Meatballs with Cilantro Lime Rice

Ingredients

Meatballs

Cilantro Lime Rice

Sauce

2 cups of salsa verde, green chile sauce or enchilada sauce

• Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large bowl; mix the turkey, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper. Shape into 1 inch meatballs (about 2 tablespoonfuls each or about 1.2 ounces each). You should get about 16 balls. Evenly space meatballs on a cookie rack set in a deep sided baking sheet or on a broiler pan.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until browned. Transfer meatballs to a large skillet or Dutch oven; add green chile/enchilada sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. Remove from heat.
  • Add 1 tsp cumin, 2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt to 1 cup cooked rice. Add in the juice of 1 1/2 limes. Stir in a large handful of chopped cilantro.
  • Serve meatballs and a bit of the sauce (about 1/4 cup) onto the rice.
