Ingredients:
- Ground beef: 1 lb (450 g)
- Bacon (cooked and crumbled): 6 slices
- Boxed macaroni and cheese (prepared according to package instructions): 1 box (7.25 oz / 206 g)
- Cheddar cheese (shredded): 1 cup (100 g)
- Flour tortillas (large): 4
- Salt: ½ tsp
- Black pepper: ½ tsp
- Garlic powder: ½ tsp
- Butter: 2 tbsp (optional, for grilling the wraps)
Optional Ingredients:
- Barbecue sauce or ketchup (for drizzling)
- Lettuce or tomato slices (for a fresh touch)
- Pickles (for added crunch)
Instructions:
- Cook the beef:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside. - Prepare the macaroni and cheese:
While the beef is cooking, prepare the macaroni and cheese according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside. - Assemble the wraps:
Lay out each tortilla. Add a layer of ground beef in the center, followed by a generous scoop of mac and cheese. Sprinkle crumbled bacon on top, and then add shredded cheddar cheese. If desired, drizzle with barbecue sauce or ketchup. - Wrap it up:
Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito-style wrap. - Grill the wraps (optional):
For a crispy finish, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. - Serve:
Serve the Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese Burger Wraps warm. If desired, garnish with lettuce, tomato slices, or pickles.
Tips for Success:
- Crispier wraps: To get a crunchier texture, you can also grill the wraps in a panini press or a grill pan.
- Customizable: Feel free to add your favorite burger toppings like onions, mustard, or hot sauce to suit your taste.
- Make it cheesy: For an extra cheesy bite, add more shredded cheese before wrapping.
Recommendations:
- Side dishes: Serve with crispy French fries, a green salad, or onion rings to complete the meal.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet.
- Freezing: These wraps can be made ahead and frozen. Wrap individually in foil or plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight and grill or microwave when ready to eat.
