Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Add the panko bread crumbs, grated cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, chili powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Mix well.

To the bowl, add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, ground beef, ground chorizo, and salt. Mix the ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
4
Using dampened hands, roll about 1 tablespoon of the chorizo mixture into balls, approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring that the meatballs are all the same size for even cooking.

Arrange the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, until cooked through.

While the meatballs are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
