Mexican Meatballs

I try to alternate every day with a “regular” meal and a “keto” meal. Since my hubs and kids aren’t exactly on the keto train – I don’t want to force it on them. So I make “regular” meals that I can pull my food out of without the carbs (think burgers without buns and delicious meat sauces without the pasta). This dish was another one of those creations. Mexican Meatballs on their own are totally keto – protein and good fats all the way from the meat and cheese.

I did serve it up to my fam with a bean mixture that turned out pretty great – one can of pinto beans (drained) and a can of black beans (drained) with minced onion, cumin and chili powder. I also gave them a heated up tortilla to tear up and eat with the meatballs and beans! The meatballs were totally yummy on their own – the way I ate them – but the kids gobbled them up with the rest.

You could try this with a ground turkey or all beef instead of the beef and pork combo. The combo is just so yummy together – it’s what I make most of my burgers, meatballs and meatloaves with.
