What is in a Sausage Burrito
Scrambled eggs, crumbled pork sausage, diced green peppers and onions, and American cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. It eats like a proper breakfast burrito rather than a fast food approximation: the peppers and onions give it texture, the sausage brings the savory weight, and the cheese holds it together. Two of them make a full breakfast for most people.
Sausage Burrito nutrition facts
Full nutrition breakdown for one Sausage Burrito, based on McDonald’s official US nutrition data.
| Nutrient | Amount per Sausage Burrito |
|---|---|
| Calories | 310 |
| Total fat | 17g |
| Total carbohydrates | 25g |
| Protein | 13g |
| Sodium | 800mg |
At 310 calories it is the lightest hot breakfast item with real substance. The sodium is the trade-off: 800 mg is high for something this size, which is the sausage talking. If you are ordering two, know that you are crossing 1600 mg of sodium before 9 AM.
Allergens
The Sausage Burrito contains egg, milk, soy, and wheat. The egg comes from the scrambled eggs, the milk and soy from the cheese, and the wheat from the flour tortilla. Four major allergens in one small wrap, so check carefully if any of these affect you.
How to customize your Sausage Burrito
- Add salsa or picante sauce: the single best upgrade, usually free.
- No peppers or onions: free and common for picky eaters.
- Double sausage: some locations will do it for an upcharge.
- Pair it: two burritos plus a coffee is a complete breakfast that still costs less than most combos.
- McValue pairing: the burrito appears in “buy one, add one for $1” breakfast offers at participating locations, which is the cheapest way to get two.
When is breakfast served
McDonald’s breakfast typically runs until 10:30 AM on weekdays and 11:00 AM on weekends, though exact times vary by location. The Sausage Burrito is breakfast-only, so it is not available during lunch and dinner hours. Order in the app if you are cutting it close, since mobile orders placed before the cutoff are honored.
