Popeyes is again within the wrap recreation, and it’s not the one non-Taco Bell quick meals chain that has just lately made a large order for flour tortillas. So it seems 2025 is likely to be the Return of the Wrap… the Rooster Wrap. Moreover these new Popeyes Rooster Wraps, McDonald’s will quickly be re-releasing its Snack Wraps that includes its McCrispy Strips, however that’s one other overview for an additional day.
Let’s concentrate on these from Popeyes, which function the chain’s hand-breaded and battered Cajun-marinated hen tender, topped with lettuce, shredded cheese, and two barrel-cured pickle slices, all wrapped in a comfortable flour tortilla together with your selection of mayo, spicy mayo, or honey mustard. You may as well get the wraps with blackened hen tenders in case your coronary heart so needs and also you organize them on-line.
I ended up getting the traditional model with mayo and honey mustard. Nevertheless, after attempting each, I want I had gotten the spicy one as a result of maybe the sauce’s warmth would’ve excited my style buds as they didn’t come away impressed with these flour tortilla-cloaked choices. I’m unsure if I’ve had too many Popeyes’ Rooster Sandwiches or if I anticipated a euphoria just like what I expertise each time I eat the chain’s traditional sandwich, however these wraps tasted ho-hum to me, which I discover odd as a result of I do benefit from the chain’s tenders.
I ponder if it’s the flour tortilla that makes every part style a bit flat. As a result of regardless of being utilized liberally, the condiments have been barely noticeable, particularly the honey mustard, and the cheese’s taste was nonexistent. With the hen sandwich, the bun does add a little bit of sweetness and is a part of the style expertise, however the flour tortilla right here could mute the flavors.
Though, now that I give it some thought, I’m unsure about that as a result of the pickles do come via with the bites which have them. I additionally observed the lettuce’s wilted taste after it sat in a tortilla sauna for a number of minutes.
Lastly, there’s the hen tender, which had that acquainted Popeyes style however was overly salty. Sure, you’ll be able to’t spell “you’re a quick idiot for consuming quick meals” with out “salty.” Nevertheless, it was significantly noticeable with these wraps as a result of the condiments have been unable to counteract the saltiness.
Whereas I’m unsure whether or not it was the flour tortilla that made these wraps style the best way they did, nothing about their taste inspired me to complete both one. In fact, your expertise could fluctuate. And if it does, please share your ideas within the feedback.
Whereas they’re not very flavorful, I did discover them to be substantial with their lengthy, meaty hen strips. And, in fact, that Popeyes crunchy exterior is there. There’s sufficient to them that they may very well be a snack or a lightweight meal. Nevertheless, I’m unsure I wish to eat them once more as a snack or a lightweight meal.
