Slice cheese into cubes. Combine the 2 cans of rotel (with juice for extra kick) with the cheese in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave the cheese/rotel mixture for 2 minutes, then stir. Repeat the process until cheese is all melted. Brown hamburger meat and drain grease. Add in the dry taco seasoning along with a half cup of water. Place the cooked seasoned hamburger meat in the melted cheese. Done!
