Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups macaroni, cooked
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap Components:
- 4 large tortillas
Optional Garnish:
- Lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Sizzle the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until thoroughly browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Drain excess grease from the cooked meat, ensuring a lean and flavorful base for the wrap filling.
- Transfer the beef to a spacious mixing bowl and incorporate the pre-cooked macaroni and freshly shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the ingredients are evenly integrated.
- Position a large tortilla on a clean surface and center a hearty portion of the beef, macaroni, and cheese mixture, leaving adequate space around the edges for folding.
- Optional: Layer crisp lettuce leaves atop the filling for added texture and freshness.
- Carefully fold the tortilla’s sides inward, then tightly roll the wrap to create a secure, compact package.
- Slice the wrap diagonally for easier handling and visual appeal, then serve immediately while the filling remains warm and the cheese is still melted.
