🍳 How to Make Mac ‘n’ Cheese Burger Wraps

These wraps come together quickly and easily — perfect for busy weeknights or when you need a fast, fun meal.


Step 1: Cook the Mac ‘n’ Cheese

  1. Cook macaroni according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Stir in cheddar cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the cooked pasta. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Burger Filling

  1. In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned.
  2. Drain excess grease.
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  4. Let it cook another minute to absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

  1. Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a little shredded cheese in the center (this helps “glue” the wrap together).
  2. Spoon some of the burger mixture onto the tortilla.
  3. Add a generous scoop of mac ‘n’ cheese on top.
  4. (Optional) Add extra toppings like bacon bits, onions, or pickles.
  5. Fold the sides inward and roll it up tightly like a burrito.

Step 4: Toast Until Golden

  1. Heat a clean skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Melt a bit of butter or drizzle olive oil in the pan.
  3. Place each wrap seam-side down and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Slice in half and serve immediately.

😋 Tips for the Best Mac ‘n’ Cheese Burger Wraps

  1. Use thick mac ‘n’ cheese — runny sauce will make your wrap soggy.
  2. Drain the beef well — excess grease will ruin the texture.
  3. Toast both sides — this locks in the filling and creates that perfect crunch.
  4. Add extra cheese between layers — it helps hold the wrap together.
  5. Serve right away — they’re best enjoyed warm and melty!

🧊 Storage & Reheating Tips
