6. 
   
7. Carefully spoon the mixture into each cup until filled to top of tortilla.
8. 
   
9. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake for 20-25 minutes or until bottoms of the tortillas are golden brown.
10. 
    
11. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing the Mac & Cheese Cups from the pan. Serve warm.

Or, Try This

1. To cut the tortillas into 3-inch rounds, you can use a round cookie cutter or find a small bowl, glass, or mug that has a 3-inch diameter and trace the shape on the tortilla with a paring knife. Muffin pans vary slightly, so cut one round first to check whether it comes about halfway up the cup.
2. 
   
3. This recipe is also great with shredded Pepper Jack cheese, for a little spicy kick.
