Beef Meximelt Recipe

Meximelts are my guilty pleasure. This Beef Meximelt Recipe (inspired by Taco Bell) is super easy, unbelievably delicious and so much better than the drive-thru. Make a copycat version of your fast food favorite at home for an awesome lunch or dinner.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 ounce Packet Taco Seasoning
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 6 Large Flour Tortillas
  • 16 ounces Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
  • 1/2 Cup Pico de Gallo Salsa

Instructions

  • In large pan, brown ground beef. Drain oil then return to pan.
  • Add water and taco seasoning. Mash meat to fine crumbles.
  • Bring mixture to a gentle boil and simmer 5-10 minutes until saucy. Remove from heat.
  • Wrap tortillas in damp paper towel and microwave 15-20 seconds to soften.
  • Fill each tortilla with meat, cheese and pico de gallo. Tuck in the ends and roll like a burrito.
  • Wrap each meximelt with a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds. (This melts the cheese and gives the tortilla that slightly steamed quality)
  • Serve hot.
