A delightful twist on classic Mexican meatballs, featuring a blend of spices and a tangy salsa accompaniment.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the meatballs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, milk, cheese, onion, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet.
Use a small scoop for uniform sizing.
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Check one meatball for doneness before removing all from the oven.
While the meatballs are baking, prepare the salsa by dicing the tomatoes and mixing them with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Adjust lime juice to taste for desired tanginess.
Serve the meatballs warm with the prepared salsa on the side.
Garnish with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
