- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lettuce, optional for garnish
Directions
- Cook the mac ‘n’ cheese: Prepare the mac ‘n’ cheese according to the package instructions or use your favorite homemade recipe. Set aside.
- Cook the bacon: Fry the bacon slices in a skillet until crispy, then set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.

- Serve: Garnish with lettuce if desired, and serve the wraps immediately while warm.

FAQs
1. Can I use store-bought mac ‘n’ cheese?
