How to Make Taco Beef Nuggets With Dipping Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, taco seasoning, and drained green chilies. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the beef mixture into 16 equal portions.
- Shape each portion around a cheese cube, ensuring the cheese is completely covered.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy.
- Place crushed tortilla chips in a second shallow dish.
- Dip each beef ball into the egg white mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Then, roll the beef ball in the crushed tortilla chips, pressing gently to adhere.
- Using your palm, gently flatten each coated beef ball into a nugget shape, ensuring it's generously coated with chips on both sides.
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the nuggets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Generously spray the tops of the nuggets with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the nuggets are no longer pink and the juices run clear.
- While the nuggets are baking, combine taco sauce and honey in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until warmed through.
- Serve the crispy taco beef nuggets immediately with the honey-taco dipping sauce.
