While McDonald’s may have officially removed the McWrap from menus across the US, the dish remains popular in countries such as Australia, which recently added two new spicy McWraps to its menu.
The new McWraps available from McDonald’s Australia include the ultra-spicy Chipotle Steak McWrap and the piquant Jalapeño Chicken McWrap. The former is made with thick slices of Aussie Rump Steak dressed with Chipotle sauce and accompanied by tomatoes, caramelized onions and iceberg lettuce. The latter is made with either grilled or crispy chicken, spicy mayo, jalapeños, tomatoes and iceberg lettuce. Both dishes are then wrapped in a flour tortilla for convenient, handheld snacking.
The introduction of the new spicy McWraps in Australia demonstrates that while the dish may have struggled to entice US customers, it has found success in regional markets.
