This Meximelt is a lightened up version of Taco Bell’s Meximelt!

When I checked the WW app to see how many points a Meximelt is I was surprised to see it’s 8 points. I expected it to be higher for some reason.

Even at 8 points I knew I could lighten it up. The Meximelt I made is only 5 points!

My Meximelt is also more filling, in my opinion.

I wanted the Meximelt to taste as much like Taco Bell as possible so I stuck with ground beef. I used 95% lean ground beef.

Replacing regular Mexican cheese with reduced fat Mexican cheese helped to save some points too.

Once again I used the Mission Carb Balance Flour Tortillas. I love them because they are only 2 points each and they taste great.

I used the actual Taco Bell taco seasoning for the ground beef. It was the first time I have used it. I honestly couldn’t tell much of a difference between that and other taco seasonings, but it was good.

This recipe is really easy. Perfect for lunch or dinner!

Once I had the beef cooked I grabbed a tortilla, added some cheese, then ground beef and pico de gallo. I folded in the sides, then the bottom and rolled it up.

I wrapped it up in a paper towel and put it in the microwave 15-30 seconds. Once the cheese was melted, it was ready to eat!

These Meximelts are also great for a meal prep lunch!
