Mac and Cheese in a Burrito
This BBQ Mac and Cheese Burrito was originally created for a fun client project early on in my blogging career. I was tasked with carb challenge, and this comfort food mashup works so well with this easy gluten free vegan BBQ sauce.
Years later, we still make this every so often, and I get looks of curious wonder whenever I describe it.

Oh 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
I 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
My 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
so good, you cannot go wrong! 🙂

First 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
hee! 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... 😉

I really think you should have your own street food cart lady - your creations are just too crazy - I bet they would have a cult-like following!
Kristina Sloggett says
hee hee... I have thought about (and had actual conversations about...) this before!
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
I can believe it!
