1. Stage

In a medium bowl, combine beef, eggs, panko, cilantro, 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roll into about 24 (1 1/2") meatballs and transfer to a plate.

2. Stage

In a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Return to plate.

3. Stage

In same skillet over medium heat, cook onion, stirring frequently, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add black beans, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, chiles, water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder. Stir to combine and add meatballs.

4. Stage

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring and tossing meatballs occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
