Steps:
- Mix veal, eggs, minced red onion, 3/4 cup cotija cheese, 1/4 cup cilantro, bread crumbs, milk, cumin, chipotle, salt, pepper, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Form mixture into about 20 walnut-sized balls.
- Heat a multi-functional electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) on Saute setting. Pour in oil. Saute red onion slices and jalapeno pepper until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add quinoa and stir. Pour in broth and 1/2 of the tomato sauce. Mix well. Add meatballs to the pot and pour remaining tomato sauce on top.
- Close and lock the lid. Select medium pressure on Manual mode according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 8 to 10 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Serve meatballs over the stewed tomatoes and quinoa. Top with remaining cotija cheese and cilantro.
