Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef (or turkey), oats, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Sprinkle in the chosen seasonings and mix again.
Gently fold in 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Shape the mixture into 1 to 2-inch meatballs and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Pour the enchilada sauce over the meatballs.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the meatballs and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until melted.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Avoid overmixing to keep meatballs tender. Feel free to adjust spices and experiment with different types of cheese.
