In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, uncooked rice, egg, mint, cilantro, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the mixture. Roll into balls about 1½ inches in diameter (roughly the size of a golf ball), placing them on a plate as you go. You should get about 24 meatballs.
Place the dried guajillo chiles in a small saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat and let soak for 10 minutes until softened.
