TACO MEATBALLS RECIPE
It's all of your favorite taco flavors wrapped up in a meatball! Serve as an appetizer or as an entree with Spanish-style rice on the side. You can even use the mixture as a meatloaf. These meatballs are fairly mild, not spicy, but feel free to bump up the heat by using a hot salsa, hotter chiles, or additional chili powder. I know some folks do not care for cilantro, but it mellows quite a bit when cooked and is essential for that Latin flavor, so do not skip it.
