Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound meatloaf mix (a mixture of ground pork, veal and beef)
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 large egg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Mexican crema
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Gently mix the meatloaf mix, breadcrumbs, chili powder, oregano, cumin, egg, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper until combined. Shape into 24 meatballs, about 1 heaping tablespoon per meatball.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the meatballs, turning occasionally until browned on the outside and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle lightly with salt. Adjust the heat as needed while frying so the meatballs do not burn before cooking through.
  • Drizzle the crema over the meatballs and sprinkle with the cilantro.
