Description
The Loaded Mac and Cheese Crunchwrap is a delicious fusion of creamy macaroni and cheese and crispy tortilla wrap, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Cooked Macaroni and Cheese: The foundation of this dish is a creamy, homemade or store-bought mac and cheese.
Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Adds an extra layer of cheesy goodness and helps bind the filling.
Cooked and Crumbled Turkey Bacon (or Beef Bacon): For a savory, protein-packed punch.
Spices: A blend of paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper for warmth and depth.
Tortillas: Large flour tortillas for the base and smaller tortillas for the crunchy inner layer.
Crushed Tortilla Chips: Provides the signature crunch.
Optional Garnishes: Sour cream and chopped green onions.
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni and cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.
2. Lay a large flour tortilla flat and spoon the mac and cheese mixture into the center, leaving space around the edges.
3. Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips over the filling, then place a smaller tortilla on top.
4. Fold the edges of the large tortilla up and over the small tortilla, sealing the crunchwrap tightly.
5. Cook in a skillet over medium heat, seam-side down, for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
Feel free to customize with different cheese varieties, proteins, or spices. Best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
