Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef

- 1 cup elbow macaroni

- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, or any of your favorite burger toppings
Instructions:
- Cook the Macaroni and Cheese: In a medium pot, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat, whisk in the flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add the cooked macaroni and stir until well coated.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat and add a generous spoonful of the cooked macaroni and cheese in the center. Top with ground beef and chopped bacon. Add any additional toppings if desired.
- Wrap and Cook: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll up from the bottom, ensuring everything is securely wrapped. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the wrap seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately. Enjoy the fusion of cheeseburger, bacon, and macaroni goodness in every bite!
