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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 12m

Yield 12 (depending on how you fill them)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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.
