MEXICAN MEATBALLS

Category: Meatballs

1 lb lean beef mince
1 red onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped corriander
1 egg
2 tbp taco seasoning
Salt + pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp taco seasoning (extra)
1/2 tbsp cumin powder
2 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
1 x 400g can cherry tomatoes {if you like more sauce, use 2 cans)

Combine the mince, onion, corriander, egg and taco seasoning in a bowl. Add seasoning. Roll the tablespoon of mixture to a bowl (I made mine quite small). Repeat. Heat a bit of oil in a frying pan. Fry the meatballs until cooked and golden.

In the same frying pan, take out the burnt bits, add onion and garlic. Stir for around 3 minutes or until the capsicum is soft. Add 2 tbsp taco seasoning, cumin powder and cayenne pepper. Stir in the tomato. Reduce the heat and simmer a bit. Add the meatballs and simmer further until the sauce just coats the meatballs.
