FAQs About the Recipe

→ Is it okay to swap out the beef for something else?

Of course! Use ground chicken, turkey, or even a plant-based meat if you want a different taste or need a meatless version.

→ Any tips for keeping these wraps together?

Roll them up tight and make sure the seam faces down in the pan. A bit of melted butter under the seam helps stick it all together, too.

→ Which cheese works best here?

Cheddar is ideal since it melts nicely and is tasty, but Monterey Jack or a cheese mix adds new flavors and textures.

→ Can I make them before I need them?

Yep, put them together ahead of time, then toast just before eating so they're still crispy and delicious.

→ Got veggie options for this dish?

Just use a plant-based meat substitute or crumble up veggie patties along with the main fixings.

→ What are some good sides or dips?

Try these with ranch, spicy ketchup, or barbecue sauce for dipping. Fries or a salad go great on the side, too.

What You'll Need

→ Main Ingredients

01 2 tablespoons melted butter
02 1 tablespoon mustard
03 1 tablespoon ketchup
04 1 cup crispy bacon bits, cooked
05 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
06 2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
07 8 flour tortillas, large
08 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
09 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
11 1 teaspoon salt
12 1 pound ground beef

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 01

Cut your crispy rolls into pieces and pass them around while they’re nice and hot. You can dunk them in your favorite dip if you want.

Step 02

Take each roll and brush on some melted butter. Set them in a skillet over medium heat. Let them crisp for a couple of minutes on both sides until they're golden and crunchy.

Step 03

Spoon the cheesy beef mac mixture on the flat tortillas. Roll each one up as tight as you can, like a burrito.

Step 04

Mix the cooked ground beef right into your bowl with the macaroni, cheese shreds, bacon crumbles, ketchup, and mustard. Give it a real good stir so everything gets mixed together.

Step 05

Set a skillet on medium. Toss in ground beef, then sprinkle on onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Cook the meat, breaking it up, until it’s all brown. Pour off any extra fat.

Additional Notes

  1. Sprinkle some more shredded cheddar over the stuffed rolls before frying for a gooey, crispy bite.
  2. Go veggie by swapping out the beef for favorite meatless crumbles or chopped-up veggie burgers.
  3. Try out ground chicken or turkey instead of beef if you're after something lighter.
  4. Kick up the flavor by mixing in a bit of cayenne or smoked paprika for a spicy twist.
