Add the ground meat, chopped chipotle pepper, parsley, salt and pepper. Squish it all together with your hands, just lightly until everything is mixed together.
Rinse off your hands and make the meatballs. If you have a small scoop, use that to form the meatballs. If you’re using your hands, dip them occasionally as needed in a small bowl of water.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in the skillet and add the meatballs. Brown them, turning them frequently until they look pretty good on all sides, about 10 minutes.
