McDonald’s Snack Wrap: Price, Calories & Ranch vs Spicy
The McDonald’s Snack Wrap is back on the US menu for good: one McCrispy chicken strip, shredded lettuce, cheddar jack cheese and either Ranch or Spicy Pepper Sauce in a soft flour tortilla. It returned nationwide on July 10, 2025, after nearly a decade away, at $2.99. Here’s what it costs now, how the two flavors differ and how it compares with other cheap McDonald’s items.
How Much Is a Snack Wrap at McDonald’s?
A McDonald’s Snack Wrap typically costs $2.99, the price it relaunched at in July 2025, for either Ranch or Spicy. Some restaurants charge more, and delivery apps add markups, so two wraps usually land between $6 and $8.
| Order | Typical price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch Snack Wrap | $2.99 | 400 |
| Spicy Snack Wrap | $2.99 | 390 |
| Two Snack Wraps | About $5.98 | 790 |
| Snack Wrap Meal (2 wraps, medium fries, medium drink) | $10 to $12 | 1,110 food |
*Typical prices reported online in October 2026; your restaurant sets its own price. Meal food calories add two wraps and a medium fries (320).
Ranch vs Spicy Snack Wrap
The two Snack Wraps share the same McCrispy Strip, lettuce, cheese and tortilla. The Ranch uses a cool, creamy buttermilk ranch; the Spicy uses Spicy Pepper Sauce, the same habanero-style sauce as the Spicy McCrispy, so the chicken itself isn’t spicier.
| Ranch Snack Wrap | Spicy Snack Wrap | |
|---|---|---|
| Sauce | McCrispy Ranch Sauce | Spicy Pepper Sauce |
| Flavor | Cool, garlic and onion | Medium heat |
| Calories | 400 | 390 |
| Sodium | 970 mg | 1,000 mg |
| Allergens | Wheat, Milk | Wheat, Egg, Milk |
Can’t choose? Many people order one of each; McDonald’s even sells a Ranch & Spicy Snack Wrap Meal.
What’s in a McDonald’s Snack Wrap?
Each Snack Wrap has five components: one McCrispy Strip, shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar jack cheese, sauce and a flour tortilla. The strip is the same black-pepper-breaded chicken breast strip McDonald’s sells as McCrispy Strips.
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| McCrispy Strip | Chicken breast strip with rib meat in a seasoned wheat-flour breading |
| Flour tortilla | Soft, unbaked wheat tortilla |
| Cheese | Shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack blend |
| Lettuce | Shredded iceberg lettuce |
| Sauce | McCrispy Ranch Sauce or Spicy Pepper Sauce |
The original 2006 Snack Wrap used a different, smaller chicken strip; today’s uses a larger McCrispy Strip. Learn more in our McCrispy and McCrispy Strips guide.

Snack Wrap Meal Price and Calories
The Snack Wrap Meal pairs two wraps with medium World Famous Fries and a medium fountain drink. Typical reported prices run from about $10 to $12, depending on the restaurant and whether you mix Ranch and Spicy.
| Meal | Typical price | Food calories |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch & Spicy Snack Wrap Meal | $10.19 | 1,110 |
| Spicy Snack Wrap Meal | $11.29 | 1,100 |
| Ranch Snack Wrap Meal | $12.00 | 1,120 |
Two wraps bought on their own plus a medium fries usually cost about the same as the meal, so the meal mainly saves you on the drink.
Is the Snack Wrap a Good Value?
Yes. At $2.99, a Snack Wrap delivers about 5.7 g of protein per dollar, more than a McDouble, McChicken or Cheeseburger at typical prices. It’s one of the cheapest ways to get real chicken at McDonald’s.
| Item | Typical price | Protein | Protein per $1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snack Wrap | $2.99 | 17 g | 5.7 g |
| McDouble | $4.59 | 22 g | 4.8 g |
| McChicken | $3.10–$3.59 | 14 g | 4.2 g |
| Cheeseburger | $3.89 | 15 g | 3.9 g |
| 4 pc Chicken McNuggets | $2.99–$3.19 | 9 g | 2.9 g |

Why the Snack Wrap Came Back

| Year | What happened |
|---|---|
| 2006 | McDonald’s launches the Snack Wrap as a small, cheap chicken item |
| 2016 | It’s dropped from most US menus as McDonald’s simplifies its menu |
| 2016 to 2025 | Fans petition and post for its return for nearly nine years |
| May 2025 | McCrispy Strips launch, giving McDonald’s the chicken strip the new wrap needed |
| July 10, 2025 | The Snack Wrap returns nationwide at $2.99 as a permanent menu item, in Ranch and Spicy |
Snack Wrap Ordering Tips
Small requests that make a Snack Wrap better.
- Swap the sauce. Ask for Creamy Chili or extra Ranch inside instead of the standard sauce.
- Eat it first. The tortilla softens as it sits; wraps travel worse than sandwiches on delivery.
- Pair it cheaply. Two wraps plus a small fries from the Under $3 menu often beat a meal price.
- Go late. Snack Wraps are on the late-night menu at restaurants open late.
