Bacon Mac ‘n’ Cheese Burger Wrap

Ingredients:

For the Mac ‘n’ Cheese:

  • 1 cup elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)

For the Burger:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 slices of bacon
  • Burger buns (optional for serving)

For the Wrap:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Lettuce (optional)
  • Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mac ‘n’ Cheese:
    • Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
    • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
    • Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.
    • Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder until melted and smooth.
    • Mix in the cooked pasta until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Bacon:
    • In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Reserve some bacon fat for the burgers.
  3. Prepare the Burgers:
    • In the same skillet with bacon fat, form the ground beef into burger patties. Season with salt and pepper.
    • Cook the patties to your desired doneness, making sure to flip them halfway through (about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium).
    • In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of bacon on each patty and cover with a lid to help melt the cheese if you prefer.
  4. Assemble the Wrap:
    • Lay a tortilla flat, and place a generous scoop of mac ‘n’ cheese in the center of the wrap.
    • Top with a burger patty (and any optional toppings like lettuce and tomato).
    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly.
  5. Serve:
    • Slice the wraps in half and serve warm, optionally with extra bacon on the side or your favorite dipping sauce.
