Ingredients

  • lbs / 1kg ground beef beef mince
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 Tbsps taco seasoning divided

  • ½ cup water

Instructions

  • Place the beef, eggs, almond flour, milk, and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning into a large bowl and mix together with your hands.




  • Using a large ice cream scoop, divide meat mixture into balls. Press a cheese cube into the middle of each ball and close the meat around the cheese. Repeat the process until all meatballs are prepared.

  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Cover with a wire rack. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Evenly place meatballs on wire rack.
  • Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until the meatballs are completely cooked through.


  • To prepare the dipping sauce, combine tomato sauce, water, and 1 tablespoon taco seasoning in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve meatballs with sauce.
