Keto Enchilada Chicken Meatballs
These meatballs are great by themselves, or you can add the meatballs to your favorite keto meals that need a little protein! Chicken meatballs are seasoned with Mexican-inspired spices and are dripping in enchilada sauce. A sprinkling of slightly gooey queso fresco is a delicious salty topping that begs the question: who needs tortillas anyways?

Transfer the chicken to a large mixing bowl. Mix in all the seasonings and the parmesan cheese into the chicken.Step 3
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees, at this point. Spread 2 TB of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 glass baking dish. Form 12 meatballs, about 2TB in size each, by hand and place them in the enchilada sauce in the dish.Step 4
Brush 1 TB of the enchilada sauce over the tops of the meatballs. Bake the meatballs for 30 minutes.Step 5
Brush the final tablespoon of enchilada sauce over the meatballs. Crumble the queso fresco cheese over the top of the meatballs as well. Place back in your oven and bake for 15 more minutes.Step 6
Enjoy hot with fresh cilantro, more cheese, or your favorite hot sauce!

Made this with ground beef and it was very good. 80/20 ground beef boosts the fat content which can be helpful. Mexican style dishes are now a Keto staple for me. Cheese, meat, spices etc., all Keto friendly. Hot sauce is a huge plus!

These look delicious! Can you use already ground chicken breast and if so how much?
