Description
Mexican meatballs made with ground beef and chorizo sausage stuffed with queso quesadilla cheese and jalapeno peppers wrapped in bacon.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Chuck
- 3 Chorizo Sausages Out Of The Casing
- 1 package (about 1 Oz. Packet) Taco Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
- ½ cups Bread Crumbs
- 1 cup Diced Onion
- 2 Large Eggs, Slightly Beaten
- ½ cups Queso Quesadilla Cheese, Shredded
- ¼ cups Diced Jalapeno
- 7 strips Bacon, Cut In Half
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
1. In a large bowl, combine both meats. If your chorizo sausage comes already prepared in the sausage links, make sure you remove the casing. Add the taco seasoning, chili powder, bread crumbs, onions, and slightly beaten eggs. Use your hands to mesh all the ingredients together.
2. In a separate small bowl, add the cheese and jalapenos and stir. Set aside.
3. Begin to roll the meat into medium size meatballs and in the middle of each meatball, take your finger or the end of a wooden spoon and make a hole to insert the cheese and jalapenos inside. Once you have packed the middle of your meatball with the cheese combination, place a little more meat to cover the top of the meatball.
4. Now that your meatballs are assembled, begin to wrap them with the slices of bacon. I did not need toothpicks to hold the bacon in place but feel free to use them if it is necessary.
5. Place in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
Allow to cool before serving. These are great appetizers!
