Ingredients
Wraps
- 2 burrito-sized tortillas
Fillings
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 4 ounces plain pulled pork, cooked and shredded
- 1/2 cup cooked macaroni and cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded triple cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the tortilla: Place the tortilla on a plate or cutting board and carefully cut a slit from the outer edge toward the center, stopping at the midpoint without cutting through.
- Apply barbecue sauce (bottom left): Spread 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce in the bottom left corner of the tortilla to add a smoky tangy base for the filling.
- Apply barbecue sauce and pork (top left): Spread another tablespoon of barbecue sauce in the top left corner, then top it with 2 ounces of the shredded pulled pork for savory richness.
- Add macaroni and cheese (top right): Place 1/4 cup of cooked macaroni and cheese into the top right corner, adding a creamy cheesy texture.
- Add shredded cheese (bottom right): Sprinkle half of the shredded triple cheddar cheese into the bottom right corner for extra cheesiness and melting.
- Fold the tortilla: Starting from the bottom left corner, fold the tortilla clockwise over the fillings into a neat wrap. Repeat these filling steps for the second tortilla.
- Cook the wraps: Heat a panini press or a buttered hot skillet and cook each wrap until golden brown and crispy on both sides, ensuring the cheese melts and the wrap holds together, about 3 to 5 minutes total.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Use a panini press or skillet with a bit of butter or oil to get the wraps crispy and golden.
- Ensure the pulled pork is well-cooked and shredded for easy layering.
- Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce to your taste preference for more or less tanginess.
- These wraps are best served immediately to maintain crispiness.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to regain crispiness but may soften in the microwave.
