The Snack Wrap Is Back… But Make It Gluten Free

Crispy grain-free chicken tenders, homemade honey mustard, and zero regrets—bulk prep these freezer-friendly wraps and skip the drive-thru.

The Snack Wrap Is Back… But Make It Gluten Free

The snack wrap is back at McDonald’s… and while I want to be excited, I also don’t want to suffer for three days just to try one. If you're like me—gluten free and a little tired of being left out—this one's for you.

I decided to take matters into my own kitchen and make a grain-free version that hits the same crispy-crunchy-satisfying note without the aftermath. These homemade chicken tenders are super easy to batch prep and freeze, so you can whip up a snack wrap whenever the craving hits.

Let’s stock that freezer and bring snack wraps back—on our terms.

Grain-Free Freezer Prep Chicken Tenders

These are great for wraps, salads, or just dipping in your favorite sauce. I make a big batch and freeze them so we always have quick protein ready to go.

Ingredients

• ~1.5 pounds of chicken tenders

• 2 eggs

• 1 cup almond flour

• Onion powder

• Garlic powder

• Sage

• Oregano

• Mustard powder

• Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.

2. In one shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and set aside.

3. In another shallow bowl, add your almond flour and spices (about 1 tsp each, or to taste). Whisk together with a fork.

4. Dip your chicken tenders in the egg, then coat in the almond flour mixture. Place on your air fryer rack in a single layer.

5. Air fry at 375°F for 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

To freeze: Let tenders cool to room temp. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 4 hours. Then transfer to a freezer-safe storage bag.

To reheat: I prefer to reheat these in an air fryer at 400°F for 5-8 min (depending on how many you’re reheating) but microwave for approximately 1:30 min will work too.

How to Assemble a Gluten-Free Snack Wrap

You’ll need:

• Tortillas (I used Siete cassava wraps)

• Shredded lettuce

• Shredded cheddar cheese

• Homemade honey mustard sauce

• Grain-free chicken tenders

Instructions

1. Heat your tortilla. I like to use the open flame on my gas stove, but a hot pan or a quick microwave works too.

2. Spread some honey mustard on the tortilla.

3. Add shredded lettuce, cheese, and one crispy chicken tender.

4. Wrap it up like a little burrito and enjoy immediately.
