For the soup:

2 bay leaves
2 cans chopped tomatoes (14.5 ounces each)
4 cups chicken broth
2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Meatballs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, chopped onion, egg, salt, black pepper, cilantro, and bread crumbs. Mix well using your hands until all the ingredients are well combined. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet or plate.
Step 2: Prepare the Soup
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Add the chopped tomatoes, chicken broth, and chipotle peppers. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.
Step 3: Add the Meatballs
Carefully drop the meatballs into the simmering soup, making sure they are fully submerged. Cover the pot and let the meatballs cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
Remove the bay leaves from the soup and add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the Albondigas Enchipotladas hot, garnished with lime wedges.
