meximelt

This healthier Meximelt copycat recipe is made with ground turkey seasoned with my homemade taco seasoning wrapped in a tortilla with melted cheese and pico de gallo. Easy and delicious!

Meximelt Recipe

tomato

scallion

cilantro

jalapeno (minced)

lime juice

salt

turkey

garlic

onion

red bell pepper (minced)

water

tomato sauce

taco seasoning

low-carb taco size flour tortillas

ground turkey

Lime juice

Monterey Jack

Red Bell Pepper

To prepare the pico de gallo toss all of the ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. Once ready to use, drain so your mexi melt doesn’t get soggy.

Brown the turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. When no longer pink add taco seasoning and mix well.

Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, water and tomato sauce, stir and cover. Simmer on low for about 15 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.

Uncover and cook over medium heat until the liquid reduces and evaporates if too liquidy to avoid soggy tortillas, 3 to 5 more minutes.

Warm Microwave the flour tortillas in a clean dish towel, for about 20 seconds, or until they are pliable so they don't crack.

Top each tortilla with 3/4 ounce (about 1/4 cup) cheese, 1/3 cup taco meat, and some of the pico de gallo. Fold in the sides and roll up like a burrito.

Wrap each Meximelt in a damp paper towel and microwave for 60 seconds each.

Remove and serve immediately.

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.

Lb Lean Ground Beef

Packet Taco Seasoning

Cup Water

Flour Tortillas

Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend

Cup Pico de Gallo Salsa

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.
