  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Season the beef with salt and pepper.  Thoroughly mix the beef, 2 tablespoons picante sauce, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic in a large bowl.  Shape the beef mixture into 10 meatballs.

  • Step 2

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the meatballs and cook for 6 minutes or until well browned.  Add the remaining picante sauce and heat to a boil.  Reduce the heat and cook for 10 minutes or until the meatballs are done.  Stir in the sugar and cook for 5 minutes.  Season to taste.

  • Step 3

    Heat the broiler.  Place the rolls onto a baking sheet.  Divide the meatballs and sauce among the rolls.  Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese.  Broil for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  Cut each sandwich in half.  Top with the avocado and the cilantro, if desired, before serving.
