It was in the late seventies, shortly after McDonald's had introduced the Egg McMuffin, that the food giant realized the potential of a quick, drive-thru breakfast. Soon, the company had developed several breakfast selections, including the Big Breakfast with eggs, hash browns, and sausage, and this morning meal in a tortilla, first offered on the menu in 1991.

4 ounces breakfast sausage
1 tablespoon minced white onion
1/2 tablespoon minced mild green chilies (canned)
4 eggs, beaten
salt
ground black pepper
4 8-inch flour tortillas
4 slices American cheese
On the Side
salsa

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan, and add the onion. Saute the sausage and onion for 3 to 4 minutes or until the sausage is browned.
2. Add the mild green chilies and continue to saute for 1 minute.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble the eggs with the sausage and vegetables. Add a dash of salt and pepper.
4. Heat up the tortilla by steaming them in the microwave in moist paper towels or in a tortilla steamer for 20 to 30 seconds.
5. Break each slice of cheese in half and position two halves end-to-end in the middle of each tortilla.
6. To make the burrito, spoon 1/4 of the egg filling onto the cheese in a tortilla. Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then fold up about 2 inches of one end. Fold over the other side of the tortilla to complete the burrito (one end should remain open). Serve hot with salsa on the side, if desired.
Makes 4 burritos.

| Well done. Tastes just like a Breakfast Burrito. I used dehydrated onions instead of fresh (soak 1 part dried, chopped onions with 4 parts water for 30-40 min. in refrigerator) and used a can of Rotelle (mexican mix of tomatoes and habanero peppers...available in mild to hot) and it came out even better. Highly recommended. |

| I agree with Ross, being a former McD breakfast cook. Diced tomatoes and re-hydrated onions. Otherwise, right on the money. |

| This recipe is very good, but I use salsa in place of the onions. |

| Not bad, but you can get a much more accurate clone if you add tomatoes, and use reconstituted onions. The ingredients are listed on McDonald's website, and there are more tomatoes than diced green chilies. Perhaps the test burritos Todd used came from a McDonald's location that made them incorrectly.
Nevertheless, these are very tasty! Thanks. |
