And when they’re done right, they can also be pretty darn tasty.
I want the tortillas to be very soft, fresh, and not too thick.
I want the egg to have a pleasant texture (aka not too gooey or rubbery).

I want the cheese to be perfectly melted.
One burrito cost me $1.70.
The tortilla looked a little dry and stiff in comparison to the Burger King burritos.

When I cut the burrito in half, I also noticed that the portion of sausage was very skimpy.
The filling was mostly scrambled egg surrounded by a too thick layer of tortilla.
The taste:Very lackluster.

Overall, I can only describe this option as “fine.”
The tortillas look fresher and softer than their Golden Arches counterpart.
While somewhat small, the Breakfast Burrito Jr. had a much bigger portion of sausage inside.

The taste:I started the Burger King portion of my taste test with the Breakfast Burrito Jr.
I wasn’t quite as impressed with the Egg-Normous Burrito.
The bacon had a nice smoky, salty flavor, but it was very thin and floppy.

It did have a decent kick, but mostly tasted like an overly sweet, sort of metallic ketchup.
The Egg-Normous Burrito would have been much improved without the mushy hash browns and unpleasant sauce.
Both Burger King options had softer, thinner tortillas, meltier cheese, and better flavor overall.
However, the Breakfast Burrito Jr. was the undeniable star of the whole taste test.
It was simple, tasty, well executed, and remarkably affordable at just $1.89.
