Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sour cream or yogurt

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Bake the Meatballs: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.

- Garnish: Finish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
