Once upon a time I considered starting a second blog completely devoted to cookies, but I actually think a blog all about meatballs would suit me even better.

They’re so good with noodles, rice, flatbread, tortillas, or all on their own as an appetizer. And since they freeze well, you can stock up and always have them on hand.

The ingredient combinations are endless, so I’m constantly playing with different protein and mix-ins. These Chicken Chorizo Meatballs are the latest creation and I am absolutely obsessed. So simple with only a handful of ingredients, but packed with a ton of flavor.

Even with the Mexican flair, the kids actually liked them. Adding these to the regular rotation! Major win.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: chorizo, ground chicken, homemade, meatballs, Mexican
Servings: 36 meatballs
Calories: 66 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 9 ounces pork chorizo
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup salsa verde
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Suggested Servings
  • corn tortillas
  • crumbled Queso Fresco or Cotija cheese
  • Mexican cream or sour cream
  • fresh chopped cilantro
  • lime juice
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, chorizo, egg, salsa verde, salt, and breadcrumbs until just combined (mixture will be sticky.)

  3. Using a tablespoon sized cookie scoop, form the meatballs.

  4. Warm the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in batches, if necessary, and cook for about 2 minutes per side until they form a nice crust. 

  5. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

  6. Divide meatballs among corn tortillas and sprinkle with Cotija cheese and cilantro.

Recipe Notes

• Use a high quality salsa verde for the best flavor.

• You can also serve these with Spanish rice, instead of tortillas.

    Think I will actually try this recipe, but the better half doesn’t like corn tortillas. Perhaps I’ll use pocket bread for him instead.

  • These Eggnog Cheesecake Bars are luscious cheesecake in bar form, with an eggnog flair, and drizzled with melted white chocolate!⁣

One of the beautiful things about these bars is that they’re not actually made with eggnog – they just taste like it. So you can still make them when eggnog is not available. You're welcome!⁣
