Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for about 15 minutes or until done.

In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the coleslaw. Stir everything until well incorporated.

In another bowl, add sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, and mayonnaise. Stir everything until well blended. Transfer the mixture into the bowl with the coleslaw and stir to combine.

Remove the meatballs from the oven and transfer them into a large mixing bowl. Add 2 tbsp of the sweet chili sauce, then toss to coat.

Fill a lettuce cup with some coleslaw and 3 meatballs. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top, followed by a squeeze of lime juice.

Serve and enjoy!
