2 tbsp almond flour keto binder
1 tbsp taco seasoning sugar-free

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the ground beef, egg, almond flour, cheddar, and taco seasoning until combined.
Form into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides, about 8 minutes.
