Looking for a tasty snack for a party or drink? Then these Mexican meatballs with tomato salsa are perfect. We made the meatballs from minced beef and seasoned with spicy herbs.
We also gave the balls a Mexican twist by adding cheddar and pieces of jalapeño. A dip is, of course, also part of a snack. We opted for a fresh tomato salsa. The salsa is super easy to make and goes perfectly with the spicy balls.
You can also serve the balls with sour cream or guacamole. Because we made everything ourselves, a meatball with salsa only contains 1.5 g of carbohydrates. So you can also enjoy this snack if you follow a strict keto diet! Tips: When making the meatballs, we added a tablespoon of almond flour ourselves.
The almond flour serves as a substitute for breadcrumbs and ensures that the meatball does not fall apart. You can leave it out, but then your balls might come out of the oven a little less nicely. You can also serve the meatballs with tomato salsa as a snack or main course with a salad or a portion of cauliflower rice. I hope you like it.
