Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a pan over medium heat, lightly brown the chorizo for about 5-7 minutes to cook out excess fat (it does not have to be cooked through).
- Remove the chorizo from heat and drain any excess oil.
- In a medium bowl, mix the chorizo, breadcrumbs, half of stock, poblano peppers, carrots, half of onions, Cotija cheese, egg, egg yolk, cilantro, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 12-16 golf ball-sized meatballs.
- Transfer the meatballs to a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.
- In a dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, add oil and sauté remaining onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the can of tomatoes and remaining stock. Tip: Adding the stock into the empty can will ensure you don’t waste any tomatoes that may be left behind.
- Add the chipotles in adobo and simmer about 5 minutes.
- Add the meatballs, cover with lid slightly ajar, and simmer for about 30 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
- While simmering, combine mayonnaise, jalapeño sauce, mint, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Pulse until combined.
- Cut the slider buns in half. Spread the Jalapeño Aioli on the top half.
- Remove meatballs from skillet and place one on the bottom halves of each roll, then drizzle with some of the tomato sauce and sprinkle cheese on top.
- Sandwich the tops onto the meatballs and serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
