A soft, cheesy wrap filled with seasoned ground beef and fresh pico de gallo, MexiMelts were a Taco Bell favorite—now you can make them at home. They’re warm, melty, and perfect for a quick lunch or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 6 soft flour tortillas (6–8 inch)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend, cheddar, or pepper jack)
  • 1 cup fresh pico de gallo (tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime, optional jalapeño)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off excess fat.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Crumble the meat finely and simmer until the mixture thickens and becomes saucy.
  3. Wrap the tortillas in a damp cloth or paper towel and microwave until soft and pliable, about 20–30 seconds.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat. Add some seasoned beef down the center. Top with shredded cheese and pico de gallo.
  5. Fold or roll the tortilla around the filling. Wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30–60 seconds, until cheese is melted.
  6. Serve hot, as is, or with extra pico de gallo or salsa if desired.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter substitute for beef.
  • Customize spice level with jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Whole wheat or low-carb tortillas can be used for a healthier option.
  • Keep leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat with a damp paper towel to retain softness.
  • Can be made ahead by prepping meat and pico de gallo in advance.
