Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Make the chimichurri sauce by blending 1 tbsp garlic, 1/2 jalapeno pepper, 1/2 cup parsley, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/2 cup mint leaves, 1/3 cup avocado oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/4 tsp salt and pepper in a blender. Alternatively, you can finely mince everything with a knife and then mix it all together.
Make the meatballs in a large bowl by mixing together the 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 2 tbsp chimichurri sauce.
Scoop 16 meatballs onto a sheet tray and bake for approximately 20 minutes (or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees).
Remove the meatballs from the oven and serve them up with the remaining chimichurri sauce on top. Enjoy!
