McDonald's UK recently began serving up spicy nacho bites that are the perfect size for snacking and for sharing. While McDonald's is primarily known for its burgers and fries, the chain's latest offering demonstrates its efforts to offer a greater selection of snack-sized dishes to consumers.
The new spicy nacho bites from McDonald's UK have been dubbed Spicy Nacho Cheese Wedges because of their fiery taste and unique wedge shape. Each bite-sized piece consists of a dollop of nacho cheese sauce mixed with pieces of jalapeno peppers covered in a deep-fried shell made from flour, breadcrumbs and tortilla chips. There are four spicy wedges per order and the dish is served with a sour cream and chive-based dipping sauce for a pleasant cooling effect.
