Heat the olive oil in a pan and brown the meatballs on all sides.
In a large stock pot, combine the beef broth, tomatoes and the tomato liquid from the can, chiles, onion, basil, oregano and Tabasco Sauce. Over high heat, bring to a boil.
Next add the rice, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the meatballs, cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with a little sour cream and thin strips of colored tortilla chips. Serve hot.
This is even more delicious for lunch the next day!
