– 2 tablespoons chili powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt

2. Add the beaten eggs and breadcrumbs to the meat mixture and mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Scoop heaping tablespoon-sized portions of the meat mixture and roll them into balls.
4. In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Working in batches, carefully add the meatballs to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Transfer the fried meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Notes
For a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the meat mixture before forming the balls. Experiment with different spice blends to adjust the heat level to your preference.
