Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
⅓ cup onion, minced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, minced
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 egg
½ cup tortilla chips, crushed
¼ lb jack cheese, cut into 12 equal cubes
vegetable oil
salsa
fresh cilantro
sour cream

Steps:

  • Crush the chips in a plastic bag.
  • In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the cheese and vegetable oil. Stir until fully incorporated.
  • With your hands, grab about a golf ball-sized amount of the ground beef mixture and slightly flatten it in your palm.
  • Take 1 cube of cheese, place it in the the middle, and press the beef around it so the cheese is fully covered and in the center of the meatball.
  • Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a cast-iron pan over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, cook the meatballs. Rotate them throughout cooking to brown all sides and cook through.
  • Once meatballs are fully cooked and browned, remove from the pan and top with salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
  • Enjoy!
