How to Make It

1. Step
Crush the chips in a plastic bag.
2. Step
In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the cheese and vegetable oil. Stir until fully incorporated.
3. Step
With your hands, grab about a golf ball-sized amount of the ground beef mixture and slightly flatten it in your palm.
4. Step
Take 1 cube of cheese, place it in the the middle, and press the beef around it so the cheese is fully covered and in the center of the meatball.
5. Step
Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a cast-iron pan over medium to medium-high heat.
6. Step
Once the pan is hot, cook the meatballs. Rotate them throughout cooking to brown all sides and cook through.
7. Step
Once meatballs are fully cooked and browned, remove from the pan and top with salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
8. Step
Enjoy!
