These Mexican meatballs are one hell of a crowd-pleaser - trust us!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

Warmed mini flour tortillas and guacamole, to serve

MEATBALLS

750g beef mince

½ x 200g packet Original Corn Chips, finely crushed

3 green spring onions, finely chopped

½ cup finely chopped fresh coriander

35g sachet taco seasoning

2 eggs, lightly beaten

JALAPENO SAUCE

453g jar chunky mild salsa

400g can diced tomatoes

½ cup drained, sliced pickled jalapenos, finely chopped

½ cup finely chopped fresh coriander

2 green spring onions, finely chopped

Method

  1. To make meatballs, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls (makes about 42).

  2. Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add meatballs in two batches. Cook, turning occasionally for about 7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Cover to keep warm.

  3. Meanwhile, make sauce. Combine salsa, tomatoes and jalapenos in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until hot. Remove from heat. Stir in coriander and onions. 

  4. Pour hot sauce over meatballs. Serve with warmed tortillas and guacamole. 

     

    TIP! To make guacamole, coarsely mash 2 avocados. Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice and 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion. Season with Tabasco. To crush corn chips, place in a large snap-lock bag. Seal. Gently pound with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
