Instructions:

• Start by finely chopping the onion and mincing the garlic. Set them aside.
• Take your slice of white bread and soak it in a little water for a few minutes. Once soft, squeeze out the excess water and crumble it into a mixing bowl.
• In the mixing bowl, add the ground beef, soaked bread, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, and all the spices: salt, smoked paprika, paprika, oregano, cumin, chili powder, pepper, ground coriander, nutmeg, and tomato puree.
• Using your hands, mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
• With your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• You can either bake the meatballs in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes or pan-fry them in a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
• Once cooked, serve your Mexican Meatballs with your favorite dipping sauce, over rice, or in tortillas for a tasty taco night!
