Cooking Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour for about 1 minute until smooth.
- Slowly pour in 1 cup of whole milk while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Stir in 1.5 cups of sharp cheddar cheese and 0.25 cups of mozzarella cheese, along with mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Gently fold in the cooked macaroni, ensuring every piece is coated with the cheese sauce. Mix for about 1-2 minutes.
- In a skillet, melt a small pat of butter over medium heat. Spread a generous portion of mac and cheese on half of a flour tortilla, then fold it over.
- Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the skillet, let rest for a minute, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
