What Are Mexican Meatballs Made Of?
Mexican meatballs, or albondigas, are typically made of a mixture of ground beef and ground pork, alongside several seasonings and aromatics such as chopped onions, garlic, cumin, and oregano. They may also include rice or breadcrumbs as a binder, and some variations may add diced vegetables such as carrots or zucchini. The meat mixture is rolled into small balls and cooked in a broth or tomato-based sauce until tender.
