Ingredients

  • 1 serving nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup crushed plain tortilla chips
  • ¼ cup salsa
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2
Mix ground beef, onion, Cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, salsa, egg, and taco seasoning together in a bowl.

Step 3
Form 1-inch balls from the mixture and place into the prepared dish so they aren't touching.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes and serve.

Cook’s Notes:

For a spicy kick add chopped jalapenos. Substitute Kraft(R) Mexican blend cheese for Cheddar cheese for even more taco flavor.
