Ingredients
Scale
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 to the center, being careful not to cut past the middle, creating four quadrants.
- Add barbecue sauce to bottom left quadrant: Spread 1 tablespoon of barbecue sauce evenly in the bottom left corner of the tortilla to add tangy flavor.
- Add barbecue sauce and pulled pork to top left quadrant: Spread another tablespoon of barbecue sauce in the top left corner, then layer 2 ounces of shredded pulled pork on top to infuse smoky, savory taste.
- Add macaroni and cheese to top right quadrant: Place 1/4 cup of creamy cooked macaroni and cheese in the top right corner to bring comfort food richness.
- Add shredded cheese to bottom right quadrant: Sprinkle half of the 1/4 cup shredded triple cheddar cheese in the bottom right corner for extra cheesiness and texture.
- Fold the wrap: Starting at the bottom left corner, fold the tortilla clockwise, wrapping each quadrant over the fillings tightly to form a secure wrap. Repeat all steps with the second tortilla and remaining fillings.
- Cook the wraps: Heat a panini press or a hot buttered skillet and cook each wrap, pressing down to achieve a golden brown and crispy exterior on both sides, about 3-5 minutes total.
- Serve: Remove the wraps from heat, cut each in half diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can substitute pulled pork with shredded chicken or beef if preferred.
- Use your favorite barbecue sauce style for a personalized flavor profile.
- To speed preparation, use leftover macaroni and cheese or pre-cooked pulled pork.
- The panini press method yields even grilling and crispiness, but a skillet works well too.
- Serve with extra barbecue sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
