Knock Off Taco Bell Beef Taco Meximelts are cheesy and zesty beefy goodness all wrapped up in a warm soft tortilla. And they’re made in a slow cooker!
Hey there it’s Rina from I Thee Cook again. With school and after school activities back in full swing round these parts I have relied on my slow cooker quite a bit these past few months. My kids just love taco nights. Instead of the regular taco with all the fixings I decided on this copycat version. These Meximelts are a perfect and super easy weeknight meal to make. You can’t go wrong with any slow cooker meal. They are just perfect for a busy family.
