Ingredients

Mexican Meatballs

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili lime seasoning (if not available, use paprika instead)

  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 egg

Beer Batter

  • 1 cup Glicks Flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup light beer

Doctored Salsa

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Prepare the Beer-Battered Mexican Meatballs

1.

Mix all the meat mixture ingredients together until everything is combined. Roll the meatballs, using a heaping tablespoon of meat for each ball.

2.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl. Add the beer and mix well. Drop the meatballs gently into the batter. Using a fork, cover the meatballs completely with batter.

3.

Heat a pot with enough oil to basically cover the meatballs. Using a fork, remove each meatball from the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Place meatballs into the oil and cook for three minutes until cooked through.

Prepare the Salsa

1.

Mix all the ingredients together in a pot and cook until heated through and cohesive. Alternatively, place it all in an aluminum pan and put it in the oven on 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for a few minutes to warm through.

Notes:

If the oil is bubbling violently, lower the heat all the way to prevent the batter from burning before the meat gets cooked.
