Snack Wrap

The Snack Wrap is a menu item available at McDonald's in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. It consists of 100% white meat chicken breast (crispy or grilled), lettuce, shredded cheddar jack cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and sauce (ranch, honey mustard or salsa roja), wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. It was created to serve as a snack to satisfy hunger between meals.^[1]

It was officially launched in the United States in 2006, and was initially only available with crispy chicken and ranch sauce.^[2] In early 2007, the option to substitute for grilled chicken and/or honey mustard sauce were made available. In some markets, salsa roja or Chipolte BBQ is also available.^[3]

The Snack Wrap was developed as an attempt to create a new chicken item appealing to drive-through customers. The original wrap used the same meat as the Chicken Selects, allowing restaurants to cook batches of the chicken more frequently and provide a fresher product to customers.^[4] The menu item was also introduced in order to take advantage of the growing demand for "snack-size", or smaller portion options.^[4]
