Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Burger Patties
Season the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb of ground beef with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Form Patties: Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into thin patties, slightly larger than the size of your tortillas (they’ll shrink as they cook).
Cook the Patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Cook the Pasta: Cook 1 cup of elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of milk and stir until warm. Gradually add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Combine: Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Set aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Wraps
Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
Layer the Ingredients: On each tortilla, spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise or burger sauce (if using). Place a burger patty in the center, then top with 2 slices of bacon, a scoop of mac ‘n’ cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and pickles (if using).
Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the ingredients.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve Immediately: Serve the wraps immediately while warm. You can cut them in half diagonally for easier eating, if desired.
Notes
Cheese Variations: Use your favorite cheese for the mac ‘n’ cheese, such as Gouda, Monterey Jack, or a blend.
Burger Sauce: Make a quick burger sauce by mixing 1/4 cup of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of mustard, and a dash of pickle relish.
Add-Ins:
Add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
Include a fried egg for a breakfast-inspired twist.
Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the burger patties and mac ‘n’ cheese ahead of time and reheat them before assembling the wraps.
Storage: These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a side of fries, sweet potato wedges, or a fresh salad.
Pair with a cold beverage like iced tea or a milkshake.
