Although there are many wraps that are being served at McDonald’s breakfast menu , I am specifically a fan of the sriracha wrap and The caesar and bacon chicken wrap.
These two wraps bring nostalgic memories in my mind whenever I opt to choose anyone from them. When I was a child I sometimes used to nag my parents to have these wraps. Now, I pair these wraps along with my most favorite drink and that is their latte coffee. This helps me in satisfying my sweet tooth cravings.

An Overlook into the idea of recipe
As I mentioned that my love for McDonald’s sriracha wrap was undefiable and its craving had driven me nuts. The fierceness of its signature sauce and added hotness with juicy tender chicken and the crunchiness of lettuce, cucumber and fresh onions was something that my taste buds were missing and I was driving crazy.
Since I was going nuts I had searched here and there and finally been able to find a recipe that almost imitates the taste and hotness of the Sriracha McDonald’s. At first, I was reluctant to try it but then I thought why not give it a try and Voila. I hit the jackpot.
There are some ingredients that may contain allergens like wheat gluten and celery.The best part of making my favorite Maccie chicken wraps at home is that it costs less than the brand ones as well as it is healthy as I only add good quality ingredients.
When I had made a McDonald’s wrap meal I was skeptical whether it would taste the same as the one I was fond of or would there be a difference but to my uttermost surprise it turned out to be the same. With a few simple steps and some available at home basic ingredients I made that wrap and to be honest when something is so tasty and yummy.
I recommend that you try these wraps and for added taste and deliciousness serve and have them while they are being warm and you would find the taste to die for.
