Copycat Taco Bell Meximelts

In September, I posted a recipe using leftovers for a Meximelt copycat. I finally am posting the Meximelt recipe that gave me the means to make a delicious pasta dish.

I'm not sure why I don't eat tacos with pico de gallo more often. It's way better than just a couple tomatoes thrown on there or some mushy salsa from a jar. It's fresh and zesty! I'm not sure if Taco Bell sells these anymore, but I guarantee homemade is better :)

What you need:

• 1 Tbsp. EVOO

• 1/4 cup cilantro, diced
• Juice from 1 lime
