Hungry Jack's Creamy Pepper Tender Snack Wrap

The Creamy Pepper Tender Snack Wrap is $3.75 and 1,147 kJ. A crispy Southern Style chicken tender with lettuce and creamy peppercorn sauce in a warm soft tortilla, and at a flat five dollars it is one of the cheapest hot items Hungry Jack's sells.

Peppercorn sauce is an unusual choice for a fast food wrap and it is what makes this one worth ordering. Most wraps default to mayonnaise or a sweet sauce. Peppercorn brings a savoury, slightly sharp heat that is nothing like chilli heat, and against a plain crumbed tender it gives the wrap a flavour it would otherwise lack entirely.

The format does something the burgers cannot. A tortilla wraps tight around the filling, so every bite carries tender, lettuce and sauce together. A burger gives you bread on the first and last bite. That is why a wrap at 1,147 kJ feels more substantial than the number suggests.

On the numbers it is genuinely light: 9.9g protein, 16.5g fat, 715mg sodium and 21.5g carbs. At 1,147 kJ it is about 13% of an adult daily intake, which puts it below almost every burger on the menu.

Who it suits: anyone who wants something hot without committing to a meal, and anyone building a cheap order where two wraps beat one burger. At $3.75 it is also a sensible thing to add alongside a light burger.

Pair it with Small Thick Cut Chips at $2.00, or try the Spicy and Smoky BBQ versions at the same price.
