ALBONDIGAS (MEATBALLS)
There are many versions of meatballs in Mexico. None of them are browned, but are poached in the sauce. Some are stuffed with hard-boiled eggs while others use chilies as part of the sauce. Some might roll the meatballs in sauted rice before cooking. This is a mild version. Spice it up as you like using chilies in the sauce.
