Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 4 strips bacon, cooked & crumbled
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream (or milk)
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or American)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Seasonings and Additional Ingredients:
- ½ small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 ½ cups cooked elbow macaroni
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Sear ground beef in a hot skillet, breaking it into crumbly morsels until fully cooked and rich brown color develops.
- Eliminate excess grease by carefully draining meat through a colander, preserving the protein’s robust texture.
- Reintroduce beef to skillet and incorporate finely diced onions, minced garlic, and aromatic seasonings like salt, pepper, and smoky paprika.
- Gently sauté aromatics with meat, allowing flavors to intermingle and develop complex undertones for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Introduce tangy ketchup, zesty mustard, and umami-rich Worcestershire sauce, stirring thoroughly to coat every morsel.
- Crumble crisp bacon pieces into the mixture, distributing savory fragments evenly throughout the protein base.
- Allow ingredients to meld and simmer briefly, creating a harmonious flavor profile that intensifies the dish’s depth.
- Remove skillet from heat, letting the mixture rest and concentrate its robust, hearty essence before assembling the wrap.
Notes
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent excess grease in your wrap, ensuring a crisp and not soggy texture.
- Customize protein options by substituting ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian version.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a splash of hot sauce or BBQ sauce for an extra kick of taste.
- Choose large, sturdy tortillas that can hold the hearty filling without falling apart during serving or eating.
