Ingredients
Scale
- For the Mac ‘n’ Cheese:
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Wraps:
- 6 large tortillas
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (extra for topping)
- 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mac ‘n’ Cheese:
Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stir in the flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat, add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper. - Assemble the Wraps:
Lay out the tortillas and spread an even layer of mac ‘n’ cheese onto each one. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and extra mozzarella over the mac ‘n’ cheese. Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. - Grill the Wraps:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the wraps in the skillet, seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. Serve immediately.
