The McDonald's Sausage Burrito is $2.99 and 310 calories — the same calorie count as an Egg McMuffin for $1.30 less. It is also the only tortilla item on the breakfast menu.
A McDonald's Sausage Burrito contains 310 calories, 13g of protein and 17g of fat, and costs $2.99 at the national midpoint. It is an official Under $3 Menu item and the lightest hot breakfast item that still carries real protein.
This is the only item on the McDonald's breakfast menu wrapped in a flour tortilla, and the only one containing green chiles and onions. It also happens to be one of the best value calculations on the board, which almost nobody notices. This page covers the price, the full nutrition, what is inside, and how it stacks up against the McMuffins. Prices for the rest of the board are on our McDonald's breakfast menu, and serving cut-offs are on breakfast hours.
Our surveyed national midpoint is $2.99. Because this sits on the Under $3 Menu, McDonald's advertises it below three dollars at participating restaurants, but it does not publish one fixed nationwide figure. Franchisees set their own board, so the real spread runs from about $2.49 to $3.59.
A McDonald's Sausage Burrito is 310 calories with 13g of protein. That calorie figure is worth sitting with for a second, because it is exactly the same as an Egg McMuffin — a sandwich that costs $1.30 more and sits nowhere near the Under $3 Menu.
At 800mg it is higher than an Egg McMuffin at 770mg and a Sausage McMuffin at 760mg, which is a lot for the smallest item of the three. Green chiles, cheese and sausage all contribute.
Full menu comparison on McDonald's nutrition and calories.
A McDonald's Sausage Burrito holds six things, which makes it the most complex item on the breakfast menu by ingredient count. A soft flour tortilla wrapped around scrambled egg, pork sausage, melted American cheese, green chiles and onions. Nothing else on the board contains vegetables as standard.
This is the detail that catches people out. A Sausage McMuffin gives you a whole formed patty; the McDonald's Sausage Burrito gives you crumbled sausage distributed through the egg. There is less meat by weight, which is part of why it comes in at 310 calories against 400.
Contains wheat, egg, milk and soy. Cooked on shared surfaces, so cross contact is possible. Full ingredient detail on McDonald's own product page.
Three items sit on the Under $3 Menu at breakfast, and the McDonald's Sausage Burrito is the lightest of them by 90 calories. Against the Egg McMuffin, which is not on that list at all, the McDonald's Sausage Burrito matches on calories and wins on price.
On protein per dollar it is the second best breakfast item on the menu, behind only the Sausage McMuffin. On calories per dollar it is mid-range, which is a good thing rather than a bad one when the item in question is breakfast.
No. It is breakfast only, and most restaurants stop serving between 10:30am and 11:00am. All Day Breakfast ran from 2015 to 2020 and has not returned nationally. Times vary by restaurant, and the full picture is on our breakfast hours page.

A soft flour tortilla wrapped around scrambled egg, crumbled pork sausage, melted American cheese, green chiles and onions. It is the only item on the breakfast menu that contains vegetables as standard, and the only one using a tortilla.
Yes. It is one of five breakfast items on the list, alongside the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Hash Browns and a medium Premium Roast Coffee.
Mildly at most. The green chiles are the mild variety and are there for flavour rather than heat. If you want more, ask for a salsa packet at the counter, which most restaurants will provide at no charge.
Both are 310 calories. The McDonald's Sausage Burrito is $2.99 and on the Under $3 Menu; the Egg McMuffin is $4.29 and is not. The McMuffin has 4g more protein and 30mg less sodium. On value the burrito wins clearly.
No. The sausage is crumbled and distributed through the egg rather than served as a formed patty. That is why the McDonald's Sausage Burrito is 310 calories against 400 for a Sausage McMuffin, which uses a whole patty.
Neither. The flour tortilla contains wheat, and the burrito contains pork sausage, egg and dairy. Declared allergens are wheat, egg, milk and soy, and it is prepared on shared surfaces.
