   1      c             Picante sauce
   1      lb            Ground beef
     1/2  c             Tortilla chips -- crushed
   1                    Egg -- beaten
     1/4  ts            Garlic powder
   1      ts            Oil
   2      ts            Chili powder
  28      oz            Can peeled tomatoes
   1      c             Canned kidney beans -- drained

Mix 1/2 of the Picante sauce, beef, chips, egg, and garlic powder
thoroughly and shape firmly into twenty-four (1") meatballs.

In a Dutch oven over medium high heat, heat the oil. Cook meatballs
in 2 batches until evenly browned. Set meatballs aside. Pour off
fat.

Add remaining picante sauce, chili powder, tomatoes, and beans. Heat
to a boil. Return meatballs to the pan. Cover and cook over low heat
for 10 minutes or until meatballs are done. Top with cilantro and
additional crushed tortilla chips.
