Mexican Meatless Bean “MEATBALLS” In Chipotle Sauce
Meatball Ingredients:
1 - 15 oz can of Black Beans (rinsed & drained)
2 cloves of Garlic
1⁄2 cup of Gluten Free Rolled Oats
1 teaspoon of Chipotle Powder
a few sprigs of Cilantro
salt to taste
Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon of Chipotle Powder
1 - 15 oz can of Fire-Roasted Tomatoes
2 cloves of Garlic
1/2 of an Onion
1/4 teaspoon of Ground Cumin
1 teaspoon of Mexican Oregano (whole leaf)
a few sprigs of Cilantro
Salt to taste
Directions:
Pre-heat your oven to 400°F.
Combine all of your meatball ingredients into a food processor. Pulse til smooth.
Use your hands to roll the mixture into medium-sized meatballs.
If the mixture is too dry, then add water.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Make your sauce by combining all the ingredients into a blender. Blend til smooth.
Pour into a pot. Heat up the sauce and simmer over medium heat for a few minutes.
Out of the oven, coat the meatballs with the chipotle sauce.
I like to serve mine over a bed of greens with brown rice and avocado.
Note: If you prefer to cook your own beans, you'll need about 2 cups. You can switch to chipotles in adobo if you can't find the powder. You can always make your own fire-roasted tomatoes, about 4-5 would work.
