When something is named u0022Tex Mexu0022 it generally implies there's a bit of a kick or some heat to the dish. These Tex Mex meatballs do have a bit of a kick thanks to the jalapeno in the meatball mixture and the chipotles in adobo. However, I would not call them overly spicy. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want to reduce the heat level, add half of a jalapeno pepper and use chipotle sauce rather than chipotles in adobo.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you want to increase the spiciness level, consider using a serrano chile rather than a jalapeno as they're much hotter. You can also add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to either the meatball mixture or the sauce, or both - depending on how spicy you want your meatballs.
