Place the meat in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned and drain off any excess liquid. Stir in the green onions and garlic and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and tomato sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the liquid had reduced.

While the meat cooks, prepare the pico de gallo by combining the tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and salt & pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

Once the meat is fully cooked, place 3-4 tablespoons of meat on to a tortilla and top with a sprinkling of cheese. If desired, microwave for 20-30 seconds to melt to cheese. Top the Meximelt with pico de gallo and serve.
