Stem chiles, and chop finely to ensure best distribution throughout meat; remove seeds if desired. In a mixing bowl, mix chiles, meat, egg, bread crumbs, milk, cheese, onions, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into meatballs, by the teaspoonful, about 1-inch.
Place them on an ungreased baking pan with a lipped side, and bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve with salsa (as a dip), or with tortillas, cheese, chopped fresh cilantro, and salsa if desired (in a taco-like fashion).
