Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp. oil in large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, peppers and garlic; cook until vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer half vegetable mixture to medium bowl. Set aside remaining vegetable mixture.

Step 2

To bowl with cooked vegetables, add beef, pork, breadcrumbs, 1 tbsp, cilantro,1 packet sazon, egg, sazonador total and adobo, to taste. Gently mix meat mixture until combined. Using wet hands, form into 12 meatballs.

Step 3

Heat remaining oil in large sauté pan. Add meatballs; cook until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meatballs to paper towel-lined tray to drain.

Step 4

Heat drippings over medium-high heat. Add reserved vegetables, tomato sauce, 2 cups water, oregano and 1 tbsp. cilantro to pan; bring to boil. Season sauce with adobo. Transfer meatballs to sauce; cover. Cook until sauce thickens and meatballs are cooked through, flipping meatballs every 5 minutes to coat in sauce, about 15 minutes more.

Step 5

Serve over cooked rice or pasta; garnish with cilantro, if desired.

Your most flavorful meatballs!

Not sure if you added enough GOYA® Adobo? To check the flavor of the meat before forming the whole batch of meatballs, cook a bite-sized piece of the meat mixture in a greased skillet until cooked through. Taste, and then adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
