  Cooking Tips

  For multiple meals, make a big batch of meatballs and rice. Turn leftover meatballs into a Cuban-style stew with tomatoes and black beans. Serve with reheated rice.

  Alternatively, serve meatballs, rice and citrus mojo together in burritos or enchiladas. Leftover rice can also be used in soups, stir fries, or as the base of a rice bowl.
