How to Recreate McDonald’s Snack Wrap Without the Guilt

alt text for image

The McDonald’s Snack Wrap is finally making a comeback after nine years, and while fans are excited, you don’t have to wait in line (or break your health goals) to enjoy one. Here’s how to make a healthy alternative right at home.

Ingredients:

  • One low-carb or carb-free wrap (try egg white wraps, lettuce leaves, or cheese wraps)
  • One to two chicken tenders (air fried or baked)
  • 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt or light ranch (for sauce)
  • Optional: Hot sauce, pickles, or diced tomatoes for extra flavor

Instructions:

  1. Air fry or bake the chicken – Coat tenders in your choice of seasoning (paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper) and air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  2. Prepare the wrap – Lay out your carb-free base.
  3. Assemble – Add chicken, lettuce, cheese, and your sauce of choice. Wrap tightly.
  4. Optional – Pop it back in the air fryer for one to two minutes to warm and crisp the edges.

Pro tip:

Swap cheddar for part-skim mozzarella or skip cheese altogether for fewer calories.
