Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix ground meat, cooked rice, garlic, 1/4 c parsley, egg, salt, 1 tsp paprika, cumin, pepper, oregano, and olive oil in a bowl using a fork. Portion mixture with a 1/4 cup scoop and use your (wet) hands to shape into round meatballs then place onto prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until brown, about 15 minutes.

Pour chicken stock into large saucepan. Add potatoes, carrots, zucchini, onion and tomatoes and bring to boil. Reduce to a medium simmer, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

Transfer meatballs to broth. Turn heat to high. Once broth returns to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook 20 minutes or until meatballs are no longer pink in center and vegetables are tender.

Serve over rice and sprinkle cilantro over top. Add avocado to top (optional).

All done! Enjoy
