How to make Sloppy Joe Mac & Cheese Wrap (Step 1, 2, 3…)
Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.
Step 2: Add diced onion, green pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Step 3: Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 4: In a separate pot, combine cooked macaroni, butter, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir over low heat until cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Step 5: Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Place a generous scoop of mac and cheese and a spoonful of the sloppy joe mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Step 6: Fold the sides over and roll up tightly like a burrito.
Step 7: Optional: Toast the wraps in a skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions
- Swap ground beef for ground chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat alternatives.
- Use different cheese varieties like mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend.
- Add diced jalapeños for extra heat.
- Stir in some BBQ sauce for a smoky flavor twist.
- Use whole wheat or flavored tortillas to change up the wrap.
Storage and Reheating Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
- Not ideal for freezing once assembled, but you can freeze the mac and cheese and sloppy joe mixture separately.
