Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 12 pieces Mozzarella cheese, cubed into small pieces
- 12 slices Black olives, sliced
- 6 Taco shells
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Divide the meat mixture into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Press a small mozzarella cheese cube into the center of each meatball, then form the meat mixture around it to completely enclose the cheese.
Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Once the meatballs are done, press a black olive slice onto the top of each meatball to create the 'eyeball' effect.
Warm the taco shells according to the package instructions.
Assemble the tacos by layering shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded Mexican blend cheese inside each taco shell.
Place 2 'eyeball' meatballs into each taco shell.
Top the tacos with sour cream and salsa for added flavor and a spooky garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Spooky Eyeball Tacos!
