Ingredients in the McDonald’s Sausage Burrito
The Sausage Burrito uses a pre-made scrambled egg, sausage, and vegetable filling that’s heated on the grill and wrapped in a soft flour tortilla with a slice of American cheese. Here’s the full component breakdown:
| Component | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Scrambled Egg & Sausage Mix | Whole eggs, pork sausage, tomatoes, skim milk, soybean oil, green chiles, onions, modified corn starch, spices, salt, dextrose, natural flavors, xanthan gum, rosemary extract. Contains: Egg, Milk |
| Flour Tortilla | Enriched bleached wheat flour, water, soybean oil shortening, sugar, baking soda, salt, wheat gluten, dough conditioners. Contains: Wheat |
| American Cheese | Pasteurized process — milk, cream, water, sodium citrate, salt, cheese cultures, soy lecithin. Contains: Milk, Soy |
What Makes It “Tex-Mex”?
The Sausage Burrito gets its Tex-Mex character from three key ingredients: green chiles (mild Anaheim-style peppers), diced tomatoes, and sautéed onions mixed directly into the scrambled egg and sausage filling. The green chiles provide a subtle, earthy warmth — roughly a 2/10 on the spice scale — making it approachable for people who don’t typically eat spicy food. If you want more heat, grab a packet of McDonald’s Picante Sauce or Salsa Roja (available at select locations).
Does the Sausage Burrito Use Real Eggs?
Yes — the filling is made with real whole eggs, scrambled and combined with the sausage and vegetables. However, unlike the Egg McMuffin’s freshly cracked round egg, the Sausage Burrito uses a pre-mixed scrambled egg blend that includes skim milk and stabilizers for consistency. It’s still real egg — just a different preparation method.
