Instructions
- For the Albondigas, soak bread in milk in large bowl, until milk is absorbed. Add remaining ingredients; mix until well blended. Shape into 2-inch balls. Set aside.
- For the Chipotle Sauce, place tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle peppers, oregano, salt and pepper in blender container. Cover. Blend until smooth.
- Heat oil in a large deep skillet on medium heat until shimmering. Carefully stir in Chipotle Sauce mixture. Add meatballs, arranging in single layer. Cover. Cook 30 minutes until meatballs are cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F), stirring frequently. Remove cover; cook 10 minutes longer or until sauce has thickened. Serve with cooked white rice and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
