Spicy Mexican Meatballs

With the Super Bowl happening in a few days I thought it would be a good time to share some of our favorite appetizers/snacks that we like to serve on Super Bowl Sunday.

Spicy Mexican Meatballs

Source: I tore this recipe out of the Kansas City Star a long time ago.

Makes 30 meatballs.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound 93% lean ground beef

1/2 pound ground turkey breast

2 egg whites

3/4 cup finely crushed tortilla chips

1/2 cup finely minced yellow onion

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

3 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos, drained

1 cup canned red enchilada sauce, divided

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Spray an 18x13 inch jelly roll pan with nonstick spray coating.

3. Mix together beef, turkey, egg whites, crushed chips, onion, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, jalapenos, and 1/3 cup enchilada sauce in a large mixing bowl. Blend well and shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Place meatballs on prepared jelly roll pan and bake 10 to 12 minutes.

4. Carefully remove meatballs and place in a decorative heat-proof serving dish. Drizzle with remaining enchilada sauce and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until meatballs are done and cooked to 165 degrees.

5. Enjoy!

These are too spicy for my boys, but for adults who like spicy foods they are a hit!
