KETO RECIPE: Green Chile Meatballs

Green Chile Meatballs! I love this southwestern take on traditional meatballs, these feature taco seasoning and use crushed pork rinds as a replacement for bread crumbs to hold them together. You can roast fresh green chiles or use the canned variety. I lived in Santa Fe, NM for 2 1/2 years before I moved to LA and ever since I ❤️green chiles.
