• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• Optional: chopped green onions or cooked bacon for garnish

How to Make Mac and Cheese Burrito

1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the cooked macaroni to the saucepan and stir to combine. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
5. Place a generous portion of the mac and cheese in the center of each tortilla. If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions or crumbled bacon.
6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Serve the burritos warm and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overcook the macaroni; it should have a slight bite to it.
• For extra creaminess, feel free to add a splash more milk or a dollop of cream cheese.
• Ensure the tortillas are warmed; this makes them easier to wrap without tearing.

Easy Variations

• Spice it up: Add some diced jalapeños or hot sauce for a kick.
• Veggie lovers: Mix in sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added nutrition.
• Protein boost: Include cooked chicken, ground beef, or turkey for a heartier meal.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh side salad with a light vinaigrette
• Crispy tortilla chips and salsa
• Steamed vegetables for a balanced meal
