Chipotle Chicken Meatball Bowls

Posted by angeladawn1220 on

This recipe birthed from a sleepless night. Sometimes, my mind won’t shut off and what calms me is creating new recipes. So, instead of tossing and turning, I got to work on developing this flavor packed bowl of goodness! The meatballs had just the right amount of heat from the chipotle peppers and are loaded with cheesy flavor from the cotija cheese baked right in! Adding chili lime roasted sweet potato was an incredible pairing. For the corn salsa, I found some beautiful, fresh sweet corn which I cut right off the cob and tossed with some peppers and onions, kissed with freshly squeezed lime juice. Topping it all off with a drizzle of my lime crema was the icing on the cake! If you want a party of flavors, add this to your recipe list stat!!
