Meximelt a La Amy

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.
12 (depending on how you fill them)
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
Directions
1
Prepare the hamburger meat and drain off all the grease and/or water. Season.2
Microwave the tortilla until it is soft and easy to roll.3
Place a layer of ground beef in the bottom.4
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.5
Add desired amount of salsa, but do not use too much.6
(This is sort of like a taco, only the cheese is melted and there is no lettuce or sour cream or any other toppings.).7
Fold in half and place on a plate.8
Microwave for 30 seconds or just until the cheese is melted.

A spicy, cheesy treat! I lightened it up for my diet by using a fat-free tortilla, ground turkey and black beans and two tablespoons of 2% cheddar and two tablespoons of part skim mozzarella. Delicious!

I have loved meximelts forever! I made these tonight for dinner for the kids and me and they were fantastic! I didn't have mozzarella cheese, so left that out, but I didn't miss it. To make them extra good, we also added some fritos after they were micrwaved. Wow - nice and crunchy. I used wheat tortillas too. The result was perfect. I will definitely make again. Thanks for posting!

Excellent. Not quite Taco Bell but I suspect that was my fault. The tortillas (purchased) seemed too thick. But the filling was lovely. I'll make again!
