Ingredients
Scale
For the Ground Beef
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
For the Wraps
- 2 cups prepared macaroni and cheese (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Optional Toppings
- Chopped pickles
- Diced tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Season it with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed and set aside.
- Warm the Macaroni and Cheese: In a separate saucepan or microwave, warm the macaroni and cheese until creamy and heated through, ensuring it’s smooth and ready to spread in the wraps.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easy to fold without tearing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each tortilla flat and spoon an even amount of mac and cheese into the center. Top with the cooked ground beef, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Add any optional toppings like pickles, tomatoes, or lettuce if desired.
- Fold and Roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly like a wrap, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Toast the Wraps: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden and lightly crispy.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half and serve warm for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use seasoned ground beef or substitute with a chopped burger patty for a more classic burger flavor.
- Optional additions such as bacon bits or a drizzle of burger sauce inside can enhance the flavor.
- Warming tortillas properly prevents tearing and helps with easier wrapping.
- Drain excess grease from the beef to avoid soggy wraps.
