 MEATBALLS: Combine all the meatball ingredients, except the oil, and mix


 well. Form into 1 1/2-inch balls.  Brown the meatballs in the oil, remove,


 and keep warm. SAUCE: To make the sauce, add the oil to the pan and saute


 the onion and garlic until soft. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, bring


 to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the sauce


 is thickened. Place the sauce in a blender or food processor and puree


 until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, add the meatballs, and heat


 through. TORTILLA CUPS: To make the tortilla cups, pour the oil to a depth


 of 3 inches and heat to 375 degrees. Place a tortilla in the oil and let it


 float for a couple of seconds.  Press the center into the oil with a can or


 ladle to form a bowl and fry until crisp, remove, and drain. To serve,


 place the lettuce in each of the tortilla cups, top with the albondigas,


 and serve.
