Combine ground beef and ground lamb in a large bowl with minced onion, minced garlic, and crumbled feta cheese
Add breadcrumbs, beaten egg, dried oregano, dried mint, salt, and pepper to the mixture
Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are just combined without overmixing
Shape the mixture into 16-20 equal-sized balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering
Working in batches, add meatballs to the hot oil and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides
Transfer cooked meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil
Serve warm with tzatziki sauce for dipping and fresh lemon wedges
