1. **Prepare the Meat Mixture:** In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, spicy sausage, 1 egg, breadcrumbs, diced jalapeño, and all the dry spices (garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper). Mix with your hands until well combined. **Tip:** Do not overwork the meat or it can become tough.

2. **Form the Balls:** Scoop a portion of the meat mixture (about the size of a golf ball) and flatten it slightly in your palm.

3. **Stuff with Cheese:** Place a cheese cube in the center of the meat patty. Fold the meat up and around the cheese, sealing it completely. Roll it between your palms to ensure it is a smooth, tight ball with no cheese showing.

4. **Set Up Breading Station:** Prepare three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. Whisk the 2 eggs in the second bowl. Place the crushed tortilla chips in the third bowl.

5. **Coat the Balls:** Roll each meatball first in the flour (shake off excess), then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally roll it in the crushed tortilla chips, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

6. **Fry:** Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Fry the balls in batches for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and cooked through.

7. **Drain & Serve:** Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Let them cool slightly (the cheese inside will be molten hot!). Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or queso dip.
