Mix until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Place the meatballs in the air fryer basket.

Air fry the meatballs for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.

In a separate bowl, mix diced red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt for the topping.

Remove the meatballs from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Top the meatballs with the red bell pepper and cilantro mixture before serving.
