This can be attributed to the use of a soft tortilla instead of a bun.  But the folks at McDonald&#8217;s have captured almost all of the great taste of their Angus Third Pounder Burgers with these burrito-ized versions of them.<\/p>\n<p>The Angus Snack Wraps come in the same three varieties as their bigger brethren: Mushroom &#038; Swiss, Deluxe and Bacon &#038; Cheese.  All of them come wrapped in a soft tortilla and with half of an Angus third-pound patty, which, if my math is correct, equals more meat than what&#8217;s attached to the bones of a waif supermodel or more meat than the amount a waif supermodel has eaten in past six months.<\/p>\n<p>The Deluxe also comes with half of a tomato slice, a leaf of lettuce, red onions, pickle slices, American cheese, mayo and mustard.  The Bacon &#038; Cheese is also made up of red onions, pickle slices, a strip of bacon, American Cheese, ketchup and mustard.  And the Mushroom &#038; Swiss has saut\u00c3\u00a9ed mushrooms, Swiss cheese and mayo.<\/p>\n<p>When you compare these Angus Snack Wraps with all previous Snack Wraps, it makes the older varieties look as sad and pathetic as I do whenever I put on running shorts and walk around with my pale hairy legs exposed.  Each Angus Snack Wrap has a nice heft and look much more substantial than the chicken and Big Mac Snack Wraps.  <\/p>\n<p>Because of their weight, I wondered if eating one could be more of a meal instead of a snack.  But after chomping down the first one, I forgot about what I was trying to do and ate all three varieties in one sitting.  I ended up consuming 2,800 milligrams of sodium, not including fries.  It made me wish silly ol&#8217; me looked up the nutrition facts before eating them, which might&#8217;ve prevented the gluttony and future high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Because I really enjoyed the Angus Third Pounder Burgers, I knew the likelihood of me enjoying the Angus Snack Wraps would be as high as the percentage of failed attempts to find love via reality shows.  The Deluxe Angus Snack Wrap (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/4881362215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">view innards<\/a>) tastes like a classic burger and every ingredient was noticeable.  But none of them overpowers the others, even the red onions.  It&#8217;s probably the most appetizing of the bunch because of the vegetables, which look surprisingly fresh.  The Bacon &#038; Cheese Angus Snack Wrap (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/4881974568\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">view innards<\/a>) is also very flavorful, but the bacon disappoints a little.  While it&#8217;s a nice sized slice of bacon, it wasn&#8217;t noticeable enough when mixed with the stronger flavors of the mustard and ketchup.  It was also extremely soggy, but that&#8217;s par when it comes to fast food bacon.  As for the Mushroom  &#038; Swiss Angus Snack Wrap (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/4881359347\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">view innards<\/a>), I definitely could taste all of the major ingredients, especially the mushrooms.  However, I think whoever made mine went all Duck Hunt with the mayo gun, since a lot of it oozed out from the Snack Wrap.<\/p>\n<p>I like all three varieties, but a few items bother me about them.  First of all, the patties are slightly dry, which isn&#8217;t surprising for McDonald&#8217;s and will probably never change. But despite being dry, I like the meat&#8217;s flavor, which is definitely of a higher quality and is better than the usual McDonald&#8217;s patties.  Also, at $2.49 each, they seem a bit pricey.  Fortunately, for most of you, because you don&#8217;t live on a rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you&#8217;ll be paying $1.99, which is what they&#8217;re worth.  <\/p>\n<p>Overall, I really enjoyed all three varieties of these slightly less guilty versions of McDonald&#8217;s Angus Third Pounders, and I believe they are the best menu items McDonald&#8217;s has in Snack Wrap form.  <\/p>\n<p>Just don&#8217;t eat all three of them in one sitting.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 wrap &#8211; <b>Deluxe<\/b> &#8211; 410 calories, 220 calories from fat, 25 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 990 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar and 20 grams of protein.  <b>Mushroom &#038; Swiss<\/b> &#8211; 430 calories 230 calories from fat, 26 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 730 milligrams of sodium, 27 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 2 grams of sugar and 22 grams of protein. <b>Bacon &#038; Cheese<\/b> &#8211; 390 calories, 190 calories from fat, 21 grams of fat, 9 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 75 milligrams of cholesterol, 1080 milligrams of sodium, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 4 grams of sugar and 21 grams of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> McDonald&#8217;s Angus Snack Wraps (Mushroom &#038; Swiss, Deluxe and Bacon &#038; Cheese)<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $2.49 each ($1.99 at most McDonald&#8217;s)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> Varies<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> McDonald&#8217;s<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Mushroom &#038; Swiss)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10 (Deluxe)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10 (Bacon &#038; Cheese)<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> McDonald&#8217;s best Snack Wraps.
