Ground pork and bacon meatballs get a kick from chipotle chili tomato sauce.
This is the updated version.
These meatballs are excellent served with rice and/or tortillas.

You could even serve the meatballs with spaghetti for a Tex Mex-ish version.
They’re quite spicy and best accompanied with something cooling like sour cream and thinly sliced lettuce.
Bake at 400F until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the minced chipotles, the can of tomatoes, broth, and oregano or mint.
Mix well and add salt to taste.

Simmer the sauce uncovered as the meatballs cook.
When meatballs are ready, put them into the sauce and toss to coat.
If the sauce is too thin for your taste, continue to boil it down for a few minutes.

Otherwise, serve with rice, tortillas or polenta.
Garnish with cilantro to serve.
