Meatballs
Mix the meatball ingredients in a large bowl, except for the tomato sauce. Mix until well combined. Form 16 small meatballs and place them on a baking sheet. Turn the broiler to high and broil the meatballs to brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and repeat until browned and cooked through.
Add the meatballs to a tomato sauce in a pan over low heat and keep warm until ready to use.
Risotto
Add the oil to a pan and add in the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for about 7 minutes. Add in the rice and cook another 15-7 minutes stirring often.
Add in the garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add in one ladle of the stock.
Continue to stir and slowly add stock when it looks dry. After you have added about 3/4 of the stock and the rice is almost tender, stir in the chimichurri. Continue to cook until the rice is fully tender.
Remove from heat and add in the parmesan.
Build the wraps
Steam a tortilla and add some cheese to the bottom. Next add risotto, then 4 meatballs and some sauce. Add more cheese and roll it up tight. Repeat with all the wraps.
Preheat a pan to medium high and add some oil. Place the burritos seam side down into the pan and cook about 5 minutes until browned and crispy. Flip and repeat. Remove from pan and serve.
