Directions

1. RICE - Cook the rice according to the directions - when it is done stir in the juice from the lime as well as the cilantro, and set it aside to cool.
2. BROTH - Soften the chipotle pepper in the white wine - I do this by putting them in a pyrex measuring cup and nuking them for a minute. Get the broth and tomatoes simmering. Seed the chipotle and chop it up, add it to the broth. Add the wine too - if seeds have escaped into the wine strain them out. Let that simmer on low all the while.
3. MEATBALLS - Mix together the pork and beef, spices, egg and corn flour. To form the meatballs - grab a small handfull of meat. Flatten it into a disk in your hand, then put a spoonfull of rice in the center of the disk. Close your hand so the meat encloses the rice then roll it into a ball. I got 9 meatballs. You are going to have leftover rice.
4. Heat the olive oil to med-high in a very large skillet. When it's hot, add the meatballs - do not crowd them. You want them nice and brown on all sides (I know a sphere doesn't have sides - but you know what I mean - roll them around)
5. When the meatballs are all browned, add them to the broth and simmer for 10 minutes or so, don't boil the heck out of them just simmer. You're done!
6. Serve each bowl with meatballs and broth, and add a slice of avocado and some fresh cilantro ...
