Taco Bombs
These are ground beef (or sub chicken) meatballs, deliciously seasoned with my homemade taco seasonings blend. Then, they are perfectly cooked in the oven and smothered with cheese and taco sauce.
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 16 ounces extra lean ground beef 96%
- 1 egg
- ⅛ cup red onion diced/minced
- ⅛ cup jalapeño diced/minced
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ⅓ cup shredded lite Mexican cheese
- 2 tablespoons Taco Bell Sauce
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (if preferred) and grease with cooking spray.
- Grab a large bowl and spread the ground beef at the bottom of the bowl. Crack the egg in a separate bowl, in case of shells, then, add that egg to the beef. Mix the egg into the beef; however, do not over mix it.
- Spread the beef back out into the bottom of the bowl. Sprinkle the seasonings over all the beef. Mince the garlic, onion and jalapeño, then add that to the beef. Mix all of that into the beef, being sure not to over mix it.
- Divide the beef into 16 equal pieces, about ⅛ cup or so each. Roll each piece into a ball and place on the greased baking tray.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then, flip the meatballs over. Squeeze them further together; however, not touching each other. Sprinkle evenly with the cheese then place back in the oven until done, about 6-7 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done, top evenly with the Taco Bell sauce and enjoy!
