Gourmet Meximelts Inspired by Taco Bell

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup pico de gallo
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)

Directions:

1. Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, seasoned with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, until thoroughly cooked.
2. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
3. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface, then evenly distribute the cooked beef onto each tortilla.
4. Next, add a layer of pico de gallo followed by a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
5. Fold each tortilla in half and gently press down to seal the edges.
6. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and cook each stuffed tortilla until the cheese is fully melted and the exterior turns a golden brown color, approximately 3 minutes per side.
7. Serve hot, accompanied by a dollop of sour cream for a delicious finishing touch.

Enjoy these gourmet Meximelts that pay homage to the beloved flavors of Taco Bell, perfect for a satisfying meal any time of day!
