Ingredients
  

Meatballs:

  • 2 ounce cheddar cheese
  • ½ medium red bell pepper
  • 30 gram green onion
  • 16 ounce ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ medium lime juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoon almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon flaxseed meal

Guacamole:

  • 1 medium avocado
  • ½ medium lime juiced
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Shred the cheddar cheese into a bowl and set aside.
  • Finely chop the bell pepper and green onions.
  • Add the ground chicken and vegetables to the bowl the with cheese. Chop the cilantro and add it in. Season with garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and salt.
  • Add the lime juice and zest. I find it most comfortable to use a lemon/lime juicer for this step.
  • Add the almond flour and flaxseed meal and mix everything together well.
  • Shape the mixture into meatballs, making them as uniform as possible. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Make the simple guacamole by mashing together the avocado, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the meatballs on top of the simple guac for a delicious meal.
