Ingredients
- 1/2 lb beef grnd finely
- 1/2 lb pork grnd finely
- 1/3 c. onions finely minced
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 1 Tbsp. cilantro fresh chopped
- 1/2 tsp oregano dry

Directions
- MEATBALLS: Combine all the meatball ingredients, except the oil, and mix well. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls. Brown the meatballs in the oil, remove, and keep hot.
- SAUCE: To make the sauce, add in the oil to the pan and saute/fry the onion and garlic till soft. Add in the remaining sauce ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 min till the sauce is thickened. Place the sauce in a blender or possibly food processor and puree till smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, add in the meatballs, and heat through.
- TORTILLA C.: To make the tortilla c., pour the oil to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375F. Place a tortilla in the oil and let it float for a couple of seconds. Press the center into the oil with a can or possibly ladle to create a bowl and fry till crisp, remove, and drain. To serve, place the lettuce in each of the tortilla c., top with the albondigas, and serve.
