Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients for the corn salsa in a bowl. Stir together and taste for seasoning.
  3. Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spray it with cooking oil.
  4. Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl and use your hands to mix everything together. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop out tablespoon sized amounts of the meat mixture. Roll into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the meatballs with cooking spray and then bake at 450° F. for 10-12 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs are baking add all of the ingredients for the sauce, except the cornstarch slurry to a saucepan. Whisk together and bring the sauce to a boil. Once boiling, whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for several minutes or until it thickens.  Add the meatballs into the sauce and stir until they're coated.
  6. To assemble the bowls, add rice to a bowl and top it with 4-5 meatballs or however many you want. Add on the corn salsa and sliced avocado. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
