BBQ Mac and Cheese Burrito – creamy mac and cheese stuffed into a burrito alongside classic burrito fillings – then topped with a sweet tangy BBQ sauce. YUM!
Tacos vs. Burritos – where do you stand on this important issue?
Really, Vegan MoFo?
That is hardly fair, and I really do not think I can provide an answer.
Please do not take today’s featured recipe as a tip of my hand – after much thought and debate, we love tacos and burritos equally. To even the playing field, I am sharing more recipes for tacos and burritos after the jump.
If the numbers give anything away, I suppose tacos get more play around here. Tacos and taco type things. You’ll see…
As for the BBQ Mac and Cheese Burrito, this is more an assembly than a recipe with measured ingredients – you know how burritos work. I am sharing my Easy Gluten Free Vegan BBQ Sauce though, which we use around here often.

September 29, 2015 at 7:15 pmOh my! What a clever idea. I can’t believe that I haven’t thought of this before. You took a simple mac n cheese recipe and turned it into a wonderful on-the-go lunch.
Kristina Sloggett says
September 30, 2015 at 8:41 amI cannot take credit for this deliciousness, I have seen it many times. we have a GREAT food cart here in Portland – Homegrown Smoker – and they make a MacNoCheeTo burrito – so good! 🙂
Kristen says
September 29, 2015 at 6:05 pmMy family is definitely the burrito type and while I am the only gluten free eater in the house, they’d all love those bbq mac and cheese filled babies. Yum!
Kristina Sloggett says
September 30, 2015 at 8:42 amso good, you cannot go wrong! 🙂
Dee Dee (My Midlife Kitchen) says
September 29, 2015 at 3:51 pmFirst of all, I like burritos better. I’m sloppy, so I have a better chance of not making a mess! Second, why in the HELL haven’t I thought of putting mac & cheese into a burrito (or any other wrap, for that matter) before?? Well, now the cat is out of the bag, and I’m SO making extra mac & cheese next time around for just this purpose. Yahoo!
Kristina Sloggett says
September 30, 2015 at 8:43 amhee! awesome, I know you will love this Dee Dee! yeah, tacos always seem to be messy, especially the crunchy shells… I do love them too though… 😉

Kristina Sloggett says

allie @ Through Her Looking Glass says
September 28, 2015 at 6:13 pmDear Kristina, I believe we have discussed this issue earlier today….but for the record, if a gun were put to my head, I would have to go with burrito. I do hope it does not come to that….these look insanely delicious, both versions. Pass me a bib!
Kristina Sloggett says
September 30, 2015 at 8:47 amI know, I know – why should we have to choose??!?
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says

Is it odd I happen to have all the ingredients to make that BBQ sauce? I feel some TexMex in my future.
Kristina Sloggett says

Bianca says
September 28, 2015 at 9:37 amI’ve been thinking long and hard about this. And I think I’m finally leaning towards burritos but just by a hair. It’s tough. But mac & cheese burritos for the win! YES!!!
Kristina Sloggett says
September 30, 2015 at 8:49 amI still cannot decide. please don’t make me. #SeriousQuestions #ThatHaveNoAnswer

Cadry says
September 28, 2015 at 8:03 amThis looks so good!! I fell in love with BBQ Mac & Cheese burritos at Homegrown Smoker. I’ve been dreaming about them ever since. Whenever I have leftover mac and cheese, I make sure to at least have 1 or 2 days of leftovers like this.
Kristina Sloggett says
September 30, 2015 at 8:50 amI know… Homegrown is burrito KING. I try to stop by at least once a month…
Cat @ Reader/Eater says
September 28, 2015 at 7:53 amThis post will end up costing me $10, because I’m at work and cannot make it. I am going to need Chipotle–stat.
