McDonald's Sausage Burrito Complete Information

A McDonald's Sausage Burrito costs $2.99 and carries 310 calories with 13g of protein. Scrambled egg, sausage, melted cheese, green chiles and onions rolled in a soft flour tortilla.

It is the only breakfast item on the menu with chiles in it, and the only one wrapped rather than stacked. Those green chiles are what stop it tasting like the same sausage and egg combination in different bread, and they give it a mild warmth that nothing else on the breakfast board has. At 310 calories it is one of the lighter hot breakfast items, well under the 530 calorie Sausage Biscuit with Egg for similar protein. Two burritos is a common order and still comes in under most single sandwiches. Pair it with Hash Browns and a black Coffee (Small) at $2.49.

Health Insight

At 310 calories and 800mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Hash Browns on the same menu comes in at 140 calories. See Hash Browns

How to Make a Sausage Burrito at Home?

A breakfast burrito is easy to make and easy to make wet, which is the only real risk. Scrambled egg has to be dry when it goes in, and the tortilla has to be warmed or it splits at the fold. The restaurant version is $2.99.

Tips

  • Scramble the eggs drier than you would eat them plain. The wrap finishes them.
  • Warm the tortilla. Every split burrito traces back to skipping this.
  • Rest seam down. Thirty seconds is what keeps it closed.

Variations

  • Add salsa or hot sauce, which the mild chiles carry easily.
  • Swap the sausage for chorizo for considerably more heat and colour.
  • Leave out the sausage entirely for a meat free version the menu does not offer.

Serve hot with Hash Browns. The restaurant version is $2.99, and two of them make a substantial breakfast for less than one large sandwich.
