My grandmother always put a small piece of hardboiled egg inside each meatball. They were delicious.

I have made this recipe 3 times now. They are absolutely amazing meatballs!! The rave reviews are constant.
(I had never made Mexican meatballs before and the third time was for a Mexican family for Christmas.) I’m so happy!!

I’ve had Mexican meatballs with a 1/4 hard boiled egg in the center… have you heard of this?

I am wondering if it is ok to brown meatballs in a skillet, instead of in the oven? Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

Found this recipe from a friend sharing it on Twitter and am dying to try making them soon! My Italian/Belgian side of the families meatballs are actually close-ish, more garlic, stale bread instead of rice and no cumin or paprika so I can already tell these are going to be fantastic! Will update once I make them thanks for sharing!!

Missing but optional ingredient is squeezing Lime in your bowl.. Or squeeze a whole lime while cooking… Cook rice only for a few minutes strain and set aside, to add with other ingredients. I also enjoy adding 1 huevo (egg) to hold my meat and hold the ingredients together. Purely optional…. Latina born and raised!

Hello!! I did love the albondigas!However I had a couple of questions…

1. in the ingredients list it states to use 1-4 cup rice and then in the recipe directions, it state’s to use 1-2 cup rice PARTIALLY cOOKED BY BOILING FOR 10 MINUTES- which should it be? I ENDED UP BOiLInG A BIT more than 1-4 cup rice and adding more water …it cooked way too fast!

2. I’ve never seen any meatball recipe without eggs added so that everytho
ing hold together. after trying it without the eggs (i,e,trying to make the meatballs) I added two beaten eggs…that held things together nicely! thanks again for a lovely recipe!

I made these this morning in preparation for a late night at work so I didn’t have to cook tonight. It smells so fabulous I had to fight my housemates to not take it for their lunches after we had a taste test! As Aussies, our only experience of Mexican food all tastes like Taco Bell seasoning lol. I’m so happy to find your site and educate the three of us on real Mexican food.

I live in Mérida, Yucatán and this recipe has become one of my go-to potluck offerings. I was a little hesitant to serve this to a mainly Yucatecan crowd for fear they would enjoy it; just the opposite, it was a hit! I’m making a batch this afternoon for a lunch tomorrow. Many thanks!
