Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 12 pieces Mozzarella pearls
• 6 pieces Black olives
• 8 pieces Small flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Guacamole
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 3 drops Green food coloring (optional)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and taco seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 3

Roll the meat mixture into 12 evenly sized meatballs (approximately 1 inch in diameter).

Step 4

Press a mozzarella pearl into the center of each meatball, making sure it is partially visible on the surface. These will resemble the eyeballs' whites.

Step 5

Slice the black olives in half and press one olive half onto each mozzarella pearl to mimic the pupil of the eyeball.

Step 6

Place the eyeball meatballs onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Step 8

While the meatballs bake, prepare the tortillas. If desired, lightly spray the edges of each tortilla with cooking spray and sprinkle green food coloring for the 'sci-fi metallic effect.' Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos: place a small bed of shredded lettuce and a single eyeball meatball in each tortilla. Surround the meatball with half a cherry tomato to resemble spooky blood spots.

Step 10

Add dollops of guacamole around the eyeballs to create a slimy, creepy effect. Use sour cream to add additional spooky swirls and textures.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy the spooky fun of your Johnny 5 Tacos!
