Taco Bell Meximelts

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
6 taco-sized flour tortillas
2 cups Mexican shredded cheese blend
3/4 cup Pico de Gallo
1 cup tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped

Instructions

Start by preparing the Pico de Gallo. In a bowl, toss together the chopped tomato, onion, lime juice, salt, cilantro, and chopped jalapeno. Mix well and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it. This refreshing salsa will bring vibrant flavor to your Meximelts!

Next, let’s move on to the beef. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces. As it cooks, the aroma will fill your kitchen! Once the beef is nicely browned, sprinkle in the taco seasoning and add water according to the package instructions. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

Now, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by wrapping them in a towel and microwaving them for about 20 seconds, just until they are pliable and easy to handle.

It’s time to assemble the Meximelts! Take a warm tortilla and place a generous amount of shredded cheese, cooked ground beef, and a spoonful of Pico de Gallo onto each one. Fold in the sides and roll it up like a burrito.

To melt the cheese perfectly, wrap each Meximelt in a damp paper towel and pop them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This little step ensures that your Meximelts are warm and gooey!

Finally, remove them from the microwave and serve immediately. Garnish with additional Pico de Gallo if desired, and observe your guests’ happy faces as they dig in!
