Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 egg
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
8 small taco-sized tortillas

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Make Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, soy sauce, and minced ginger. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Bake Meatballs: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
Add Teriyaki Sauce: In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the meatballs with teriyaki sauce to coat them evenly.
Prepare Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing a few meatballs in each tortilla and topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and any other desired toppings.
Serve: Garnish with sliced jalapeños and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
