These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid to the meatball mixture next time.

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll probably make them again with less chipotle peppers next time.

I love the combination of flavors in these meatballs. The chipotle peppers and cumin give them a nice smoky flavor.
