1 Combine egg, egg yolk, Parmesan cheese, milk, onion, and parsley in a bowl and whisk well with a fork to combine. Add meat and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined and add breadcrumbs. Mix once more until well combined.
2 Roll meat mixture into 12 meatballs.
3 Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle to medium-high heat. Working in batches, drizzle about 1/3 of the olive oil over the skillet. Place a meatball in the hot skillet and place a tortilla on top. Using a spatula, carefully smash tortilla down over meatball, slightly spreading meat until it reaches the edges of the tortilla in an even layer. Repeat with as many meatballs and tortillas that will fit in the skillet or on the griddle.
4 Cook, undisturbed, about 3 to 4 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Flip tortillas and top with 1 tablespoon marinara and 2 tablespoons cheese. Cook 1 minute, then top with onions and banana peppers. Fold into a taco shape and serve.
