Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until it forms a paste (roux). Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Add the cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

  2. 2

    Prepare the French Fries

    If using frozen French fries, cook them according to the package instructions until they are crispy. If making homemade fries, slice potatoes, fry or bake until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Place a generous amount of French fries on each tortilla, followed by a good amount of the cheese sauce. Fold the tortillas over to form tacos.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the Mac & Cheese Tacos immediately, garnished with additional cheese or spices if desired.
