Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Bake the Meatballs: Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
Warm the Tortillas: While the meatballs are baking, warm the tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place 2-3 meatballs in each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, and serve with your favorite salsa or hot sauce on the side.
