Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 lb chorizo
½ cup beef stock, or veal stock, divided
¼ cup poblano pepper, roasted, diced
½ cup carrot, minced
½ cup white onion, or yellow onion, chopped, divided
6 tablespoons cotija cheese, grated
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley leaf, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, chopped
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
3 chipotles in adobo
12 slider buns, split horizontally
cotija cheese, to garnish
1 cup mayonnaise
6 tablespoons green jalapeño sauce, or more to taste
10 leaves mint
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a pan over medium heat, lightly brown the chorizo for about 5-7 minutes to cook out excess fat (it does not have to be cooked through).
  • Remove the chorizo from heat and drain any excess oil.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the chorizo, breadcrumbs, half of stock, poblano peppers, carrots, half of onions, Cotija cheese, egg, egg yolk, cilantro, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 12-16 golf ball-sized meatballs.
  • Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.
  • In a dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, add oil and sauté remaining onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the can of tomatoes and remaining stock. Tip: Adding the stock into the empty can will ensure you don't waste any tomatoes that may be left behind.
  • Add the chipotles in adobo and simmer about 5 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs, cover with lid slightly ajar, and simmer for about 30 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
  • While simmering, combine mayonnaise, jalapeño sauce, mint, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse until combined.
  • Cut the slider buns in half. Spread the Jalapeño Aioli on the top half.
  • Remove meatballs from skillet and place one on the bottom halves of each roll, then drizzle with some of the tomato sauce and sprinkle cheese on top.
  • Sandwich the tops onto the meatballs and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
