The sausage burrito from McDonald's was the least expensive breakfast burrito I tried. It was also the least exciting in my opinion.

When I opened up the bag, my first impression was that the burrito was small.
The McDonald's sausage burrito didn't look any more inviting once I removed it from its paper wrapping.

The tortilla was small and thin. However, at just $1.99, it didn't exactly break the bank.
The cheese tasted artificial to me, and it was thick and overpowering.

The flavor of the eggs and sausage didn't come through because both were covered in potent, gooey cheese.
I had high hopes for Wendy's breakfast burrito.

These hopes were quickly dashed to pieces before my eyes, however. While the chain usually impresses me, I thought its $1 breakfast burrito left a lot to be desired.
Wendy's sausage, egg, and cheese burrito was exactly what you would expect from a fast-food breakfast burrito — nothing more and nothing less.

Unfortunately, the tortilla was soggy by the time I began eating, but that could have been a result of the time it took me to get the burrito home. Either way, it definitely looked a little less than appetizing.
The eggs were slightly watery and bland, and I thought the amount of sausage inside the burrito was stingy.

Overall, I wasn't impressed by the lack of flavor or the tortilla's texture.
Coming in third place in the breakfast burrito face-off was Burger King with its Egg-Normous Breakfast Burrito.

This burrito is a large size and contains around 900 calories.
The burrito cost me $4.99 before tax, making it the most expensive burrito I tried.

However, when I saw the size and thickness of the burrito, I couldn't help but get a little excited.
Inside, I found the holy trinity of breakfast foods — cheese, bacon, and sausage patties.

I was conflicted about the chain's choice to include two whole sausage patties, rather than ground sausage.
I loved the taste at first, but I thought it quickly became fatty-tasting. The bacon was crispy, and I thought the full-sized hash browns were a nice addition. It did need an extra kick from salsa or hot sauce, however.
The next burrito I tried was from Taco Bell — the cheesy toasted breakfast burrito cost me just $1.29 plus tax.

The burrito is one of Taco Bell's newest additions to its breakfast menu.
It's about the same size as the grilled burrito but is toasted instead of grilled.

It comes with sausage, egg, and nacho cheese sauce — basically, it's Taco Bell's version of a classic breakfast sandwich.
Biting in, I was met with a hearty serving of sausage and cheese.

My burrito came with a sausage patty, rather than sausage crumbles as advertised. I actually didn't mind this substitution.
This burrito isn't called the "cheesy toasted breakfast burrito" for nothing — it was really, really cheesy.

The cheese sauce was a lot to take on — especially first thing in the morning. However, it was still undeniably delicious.
The breakfast version of Taco Bell's famous Crunchwrap cost me $2.79 at the location I went to — and I thought it was well worth it.

It comes with bacon, a hash brown, cheese, egg, and creamy jalapeño sauce.
Some will argue with me that a Crunchwrap isn't a burrito.

To this I say, it's not about the shape — it's about the ingredients. In this case, a perfectly grilled tortilla stuffed with goodness definitely counts as a burrito.
Biting in, I was satisfied with the hash brown and other ingredients.

I thought the bacon was super flavorful, the eggs were moist, and the hash brown was perfectly seasoned. It had a slight kick to it, and with a drizzle of Taco Bell's breakfast salsa, I was well on my way to having the perfect fast-food breakfast.
Taco Bell reigned supreme with its lineup of breakfast burritos, which were both an incredible value for the money and tasted undeniably delicious. When it comes to fast-food breakfast burritos, definitely opt for a chain that knows its Mexican food.
