1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic

8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced cucumbers

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned.
5. While the meatballs are baking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
