Anyone else cry when McDonald's took away the snack wrap? I still can't figure out what would have compelled them to get rid of it. Thankfully, snack wraps are super simple to copy! This is what I do to meal prep a Copycat Snack Wrap lunch for a two-person household during the workweek.
First thing first, head out to the nearest Aldi for the best prices! You don't need to go to more than one store for this recipe. As you can see, I definitely overbought on chicken, but I really wanted to try them all out and tell you how they were! If you are trying this meal prep for two people, then I would suggest only using three bags of chicken. Maybe you could get away with two if you stuff your wraps with more vegetables, but my husband and I are big fans of the chicken tender, so I don't think that we could personally go down to two bags.
Below are all the product prices at my local Aldi in New York State. Our Aldi total was $32.05. While this is higher than I would like to pay for a week's worth of lunches, it is for two people. Which would be $16.03 per person or $3.21 per meal. If it's cheaper than a 4 for $4 then it's cheap enough for lunch. That's my rule anyway!
This meal prep is going to last all of 25 minutes. I swear. Preheat that oven. Cook the chicken per the directions. It will be at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or so because that's pretty much how to cook any frozen food.
While the chicken bakes, chop up your tomatoes and put it into containers. Then divide your other toppings into their own containers (ie. lettuce, cheese, condiments...).
PRO TIP
Don't even bother putting your wraps in a bag.
Give up and use a plastic baggie to carry everything instead of a lunch bag.
Look ratchet. Live your best life.
All of your frienemies will be jealous of your snack wraps anyway.
There you have it, folks! The super-freaking-simple, you should have thought of this earlier, but you didn't and some rando on the interwebs did your thinking for you, DIY, snack wrap.
Hope you're lovin' it. ;)

Learn from my mistakes.
Ranch goes with plain chicken or buffalo chicken.
Honey mustard only goes with plain chicken.
That is all.

Cook the chicken according to the directions on the bag. While the chicken is cooking, dice your tomatoes. Then put the tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and dressings into separate containers.
