A wendys breakfast burrito is a warm flour tortilla stuffed with eggs, seasoned potatoes, cheese and either bacon or sausage.

What Is Inside the Wendy's Breakfast Burrito
The wendys breakfast burrito wraps fresh-cracked eggs, seasoned breakfast potatoes, American cheese and a creamy cheese sauce in a soft flour tortilla. The meat is the choice: six strips of oven-baked, applewood smoked bacon, or a grilled sausage patty.
Wendy's launched the bacon version in January 2024 and promoted it as portable bacon, with the same amount of bacon as a Baconator. The sausage version followed in May 2024. Two Cholula Original Hot Sauce packets come on the side with each.
The base item in our menu data has no description, so the bacon details above come from Wendy's launch announcement. The sausage version's own listing reads "Fresh-cracked grade A eggs, grilled savory sausage, American cheese, and seasoned potatoes smothered in a creamy cheese sauce and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla."
Both start at $6.61 on delivery apps. Prices vary by store and are higher than counter prices in many places.

Breakfast Burrito, Sausage
Bacon Breakfast Burrito vs Sausage Breakfast Burrito
The bacon burrito is lighter and crunchier. The sausage burrito is heavier, softer and more savory, because the patty carries more fat than bacon strips.
Bacon Breakfast Burrito vs Sausage Breakfast Burrito
| Feature | Bacon burrito | Sausage burrito |
|---|---|---|
| Meat | Six strips of applewood smoked bacon | Grilled sausage patty |
| Calories (third party) | About 720 | About 830 |
| Fat (third party) | About 41 g | About 53 g |
| Protein (third party) | About 32 g | About 31 g |
| Delivery-app price | From $6.61 | From $6.61 |
The calorie and fat numbers come from third party databases that copy Wendy's published figures, so confirm them in the official guide. Protein is nearly the same, which means the extra 110 or so calories in the sausage version are mostly fat.
If you like crisp texture, pick bacon. If you want a heartier, spicier bite, pick sausage.
Cholula Hot Sauce and Other Extras
Each burrito arrives with Cholula Original Hot Sauce on the side. At launch Wendy's said two packets come with it, and the sausage listing confirms the sauce is included. Cholula is a mild to medium sauce with a tangy chili flavor, so you control the heat.
Add a packet to the cheese sauce for a little acidity. Ask for extra packets if you like more kick, though supplies depend on the store. You can also taste the burrito first and add sauce a little at a time, so you do not overpower the eggs.
Breakfast Burrito Calories, Protein and Allergens
Third party nutrition sites list the bacon burrito at about 720 calories and the sausage burrito at about 830. Fat runs about 41 and 53 grams, and protein is around 32 and 31 grams. These are not exact official numbers, so check Wendy's nutrition guide before counting.
Both are heavy for a handheld. The eggs, cheese, cheese sauce and tortilla bring most of the carbohydrates and saturated fat, and the meat adds salt. Seasoned potatoes add starch and oil inside the wrap.
On allergens, the ingredients point to egg, milk and wheat, and the cheese sauce and tortilla may carry soy or other allergens too. Check the full allergen guide for your order. Kitchen equipment is shared, so cross-contact can happen. Dairy free is hard, because the American cheese and the cheese sauce are both part of the build. This page is information, not medical advice. For more, see the calories and nutrition guide.
Wendys Breakfast Combo Options With the Burrito
Our delivery data does not list a combo for either burrito, so plan to build your own. The simple route is the burrito plus a side and a drink.
The usual side is seasoned potatoes, and wendys breakfast potatoes start at $2.24 on delivery apps. They are already inside the burrito, so some people prefer apple bites, from $1.24, for a lighter contrast. A regular hot coffee starts at $1.49.
Want something sweet? Add French toast sticks for a sweet and savory plate. Wendy's has also run limited breakfast meal deals that pair a small order of seasoned potatoes with a sandwich, so check the app's offers tab before you pay full price.
Where the Burrito Fits on the Wendy's Morning Menu
Among the breakfast choices, the burrito is the handheld option. Biscuit, croissant and English muffin sandwiches use bread, and the Breakfast Baconator uses a bun. The burrito uses a tortilla and includes potatoes, so it is a complete meal in one wrap.
That makes it a good grab and go breakfast for your car or your desk. You can unwrap it halfway and eat it like a sandwich, which keeps the filling from spilling. It costs more than a basic biscuit sandwich but is filling enough that many people skip a side. See the full breakfast category to compare everything on the morning menu.
Wendy's Breakfast Burrito FAQs
What is in the Wendy's Breakfast Burrito?
It has fresh-cracked eggs, seasoned breakfast potatoes, American cheese, cheese sauce and a warm flour tortilla, plus either six strips of applewood smoked bacon or a grilled sausage patty. Cholula Original Hot Sauce comes on the side. The two versions are sold as separate items.
How many calories are in the bacon and sausage breakfast burritos?
Third party databases list the bacon version at about 720 calories and the sausage version at about 830. Fat is around 41 and 53 grams. Those figures can change when recipes change, so check Wendy's official nutrition guide for the numbers that apply to your order.
Does the Breakfast Burrito come with hot sauce?
Yes. Wendy's launched the burrito with two Cholula Original Hot Sauce packets on the side, and the sausage listing also names Cholula. Packet counts can vary by store, so ask for extra if you like more heat. The sauce is a mild to medium chili sauce.
Is the Breakfast Burrito available at every Wendy's?
No. The wendys breakfast burrito started in select regions in January 2024, at more than 4,500 restaurants, and the sausage version followed in May 2024. Many stores still do not serve breakfast at all, so open the app and check your own location.
What time can I order the Breakfast Burrito?
Wendy's breakfast generally runs from opening until about 10:30 a.m., but each franchisee sets its own hours. Some restaurants open later and some skip breakfast. Check your store in the app, because the burrito only appears when breakfast is being served.
Is the Breakfast Burrito a good choice if I avoid dairy?
No. Both versions include American cheese and a cheese sauce, so they contain milk, and the shared kitchen adds cross-contact risk. Seasoned potatoes on their own are listed as free of milk ingredients by third party guides. Check Wendy's allergen guide and talk to the manager.
How is the Breakfast Burrito different from the Breakfast Baconator?
The burrito is a flour tortilla wrap with eggs, potatoes, cheese sauce and either bacon or sausage. The Baconator is a sandwich on a toasted potato bun with sausage, bacon, egg, American cheese and Swiss cheese sauce. The burrito is easier to hold and includes potatoes, while the sandwich has more bacon and a bun.
What sides go with the Breakfast Burrito?
For a full wendy's breakfast meal, add a hot coffee or juice. The burrito already contains potatoes, so apple bites make a lighter side than a second potato order. French toast sticks add a sweet balance if you want one. Seasoned potatoes start at $2.24 on delivery apps.
