Taco Meatballs

One of my husband's new favorites!

1-1 1/2 pounds hamburger
1 1/2 cups corn tortilla crumbs (I put mine in food processor until fine and crumbly)
1/3 cup minced onion
1/3 cup milk
1/2 chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper
1 tsp. Louisiana hot sauce
1 egg

Sauce:
1 can diced chiles (I've used a can of green enchilada sauce, too)
1 package taco seasoning
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 package cheddar cheese

Combine the first 8 ingredients in mixing bowl. Shape into small meatballs. Drop into boiling water, and cook until no longer pink. Remove and drain. In large skillet, add sauce ingredients. Add meatballs. Cook until melted and coated. Serve over taco rice!
