Would You Eat This Mac Snack Wrap?

Try saying this really fast three times: McDonald's is back with the Mac Snack Wrap. What's that, you ask? Simply put, it's the fast food chain's Big Mac wrapped in a soft flour tortilla in place of a hamburger bun. The new menu item is available in all Canadian McDonald's locations, although Eat Me Daily reports that the wraps are also being tested in Houston, Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Michigan City.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm on the fence about this one. On the one hand, I hold a special place in my heart for the flour tortilla. But on the flipside, there are some things that just don't seem to belong inside tortillas - like hamburger patties. What do you say: Is the Mac Snack Wrap a brilliant way to eat on the go, or the most ridiculous idea ever?
