Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Snack Wrap was a popular food item sold at McDonald's restaurants. You could find it in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. It was designed to be a smaller meal or a snack to help you feel full between bigger meals.

What's in a Snack Wrap?

The Snack Wrap was made with tasty ingredients, all wrapped up in a soft flour tortilla.

  • Chicken: It had 100% white meat chicken breast. You could choose if you wanted it crispy (fried) or grilled.
  • Veggies: Fresh lettuce was added for a bit of crunch.
  • Cheese: A mix of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese made it extra cheesy.
  • Sauce: You could pick your favorite sauce! Options usually included ranch or honey mustard. In some places, you might also find salsa roja or Chipotle BBQ sauce.

History of the Snack Wrap

The Snack Wrap first came out in the United States in 2006. When it first launched, it only came with crispy chicken and ranch sauce.

McDonald's wanted to create a new chicken item that was easy for people to grab, especially those using the drive-through. The chicken used in the wrap was the same as their "Chicken Selects." This meant restaurants could cook the chicken more often, making sure it was fresh for customers.

In early 2007, McDonald's added more choices. You could then choose grilled chicken instead of crispy. They also added honey mustard sauce as an option. The Snack Wrap was also created because more people wanted smaller, "snack-size" food options.
