Mexican Taco Meatballs image

This recipe is wonderful as an appetizer, served with crusty bread, or as a main dish, served in sub rolls and sprinkled with cheese, or you can add a (15 oz.) can of beans and serve as a meatball chili. It is one of my favorite recipes because it is so easy to prepare and so versatile. I often keep this hot in a crockpot to take to pot lucks and a get together with family and friends.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs turned out bland. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more sauce next time.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It makes the meatballs a healthier option, and they're still just as delicious.

I'm not a big fan of meatballs, but these ones were really good. They were moist and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious.

I've tried many different taco meatball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is the perfect consistency.
