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 6 points for blue, green and purple.
My Meximelt is also more filling, in my opinion.
This Meximelt could be lightened up even more if you wanted to use 99% fat free ground turkey.
I wanted the Meximelt to taste as much like Taco Bell as possible so I stuck with ground beef, but 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 Ole Xtreme High Fiber Tortillas. I love them because they are only 1 point each and they taste good.
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!
I made a little video of how to make the Meximelt:
These Meximelts are also great for a meal prep lunch!
