# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt and black pepper until fully browned. Drain excess fat and transfer the beef to a bowl.
02 -
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add milk, garlic powder, paprika, and shredded cheddar. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
03 -
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix until entirely coated. Fold in the cooked beef and half of the chopped bacon pieces.
04 -
Spoon portions of the macaroni mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with additional bacon if desired. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to secure the filling.
05 -
Heat oil or butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Place rolls seam-side down and toast each for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
06 -
Slice the rolls in half and serve hot, optionally accompanied by dipping sauces such as ranch, barbecue, or spicy mayonnaise.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
Assembling the rolls while the filling is still warm ensures the cheese remains creamy and easy to handle.
02 -
For extra crispness, weight the rolls gently in the pan while toasting.
