  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Form the meatballs into 1-inch balls. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before baking them. This will help to develop their flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a good quality chipotle sauce. The chipotle sauce is what gives these meatballs their unique flavor. Make sure to use a sauce that has a good smoky flavor.
  • Serve the meatballs with a variety of dipping sauces. This will allow your guests to choose the sauce that they like best.
