Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef – Ground turkey can also be used if you want to reduce fat in your diet
  • 1 package taco seasoning mix – You can also use your own seasonings that your family enjoys
  • 12 pre-shaped corn taco shells
  • 3/4 cup thick and chunky salsa
  • 3/4 cup sour cream – Low-fat sour cream can also be used
  • 1 can sliced black olives – 2.25 ounce can drained

Instructions
 

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the ground meat and seasoning in a medium bowl. Go ahead and use your hands to mix these ingredients. When the mixture is thoroughly incorporated, pinch off a little bit of meat and roll it in your hands. You want to make about 36 one-inch taco meatballs. Place these in a 15 inch by 10 inches by 1-inch baking or casserole dish. Try to keep the meatballs from touching as much as possible.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. You may also want to use a meat thermometer to verify the meat has reached 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • While the meat is baking, prepare the vegetables for your tacos. Some suggestions are lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, and onions.
  • Put the vegetables into the taco shell but don’t fill them entirely. Leave enough room to place two meatballs. Then pour a small amount of salsa over the meatballs followed by a small dollop of sour cream on each meatball. Top the sour cream with one olive slice on each meatball to make them look like eyeballs.
