Enchilada meatballs are one of those cozy recipes that turn familiar Tex‑Mex flavors into a bubbling, cheesy meatball bake. Instead of rolling tortillas, you roll juicy meatballs, nestle them in enchilada sauce, and blanket everything with Monterey Jack. The result is a pan of tender, spicy meatballs in a rich, tangy sauce that works just as well over rice as it does tucked into tortillas.
What makes this dish so satisfying is the way the meatballs soak up the enchilada sauce as they bake. The mixture of ground beef and pork gives them a rich, well‑rounded flavor, while cilantro, garlic, cayenne, and a splash of sauce inside the meatball itself echo everything you love about a pan of enchiladas. Once the cheese melts and the sauce bubbles, you’ve got pure comfort food with almost no assembly work.
