Ingredients

6 large flour tortillas
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons taco seasoning ((1 1-ounce packet))
½ cup water
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (freshly grated)
4 medium Roma tomatoes (seeded and diced)
½ cup finely chopped white onion
1 small jalapeno (seeded and membranes removed)
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and brown ground beef until no longer pink. Drain grease.
Stir in water and taco seasoning, continuing to crumble ground beef with a potato mashed until it's finely crumbled. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened and is saucy, remove from heat.
Wrap the tortillas in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and heat in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm and soften.
Mix the pico de gallo ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and scoop the meat mixture, pico and cheese down the center. Tuck in the sides and roll up like a burrito.
Wrap each Meximelt in a paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds to melt the cheese.
Serve immediately.

MEXIMELT A LA AMY

Meximelt a La Amy image

I love the Meximelts at Taco Bell. However, I don't eat there a lot because sometimes, it gives me a tummy ache. But when I do, there are only two things I order-EVER! Chili-cheese burritos and Meximelts. One of my gal-pals worked there and told me what was in one. I couldn't figure it out because I was too busy inhaling it. So...here's my take on the Meximelt.

Time 12m

Yield 12 (depending on how you fill them)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (use your fave taco seasoning mix to season by package directions)
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2-1 cup salsa, any you desire (I prefer mild)
8 inches flour tortillas

Steps:

Prepare the hamburger meat and drain off all the grease and/or water. Season.
Microwave the tortilla until it is soft and easy to roll.
Place a layer of ground beef in the bottom.
Combine all the cheeses (I just throw it all in a zip-top bag and shake so if there is any left over, I can have it for later.)and sprinkle the desired amount over the beef.
Add desired amount of salsa, but do not use too much.
(This is sort of like a taco, only the cheese is melted and there is no lettuce or sour cream or any other toppings.).
Fold in half and place on a plate.
Microwave for 30 seconds or just until the cheese is melted.
