What to do:
1. To make the Meatballs: Turn on the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl mix together all meatball ingredients and form into balls. Bake on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes or until meatballs are browned and cooked through.
2. To make the Sauce: While the meatballs are baking, add all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring often, until warm.
3. To make the Cauliflower Rice: Warm the oil in a large skillet. Add the cooked broccoli. Use a cheese grater and grate the head of the cauliflower into the pan with the broccoli and then add the sesame seeds. Put the pan over medium heat and cook, until cauliflower is lightly toasted. Season with garlic, salt and pepper.
4. Spoon the broccoli and cauliflower rice onto tortillas, top with meatballs, sauce, cheese and fold!
