I tried breakfast burritos from six fast food chains and ranked them worst to best.
- When it comes to a delicious fast-food breakfast, what could be better than fluffy eggs, creamy cheese, breakfast meat, and crispy hash browns rolled up in a warm, toasted tortilla?
- I put five fast-food chains to the test in order to see who could make the best breakfast burrito: McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, or Taco Bell.
- Taco Bell came out on top with its budget-friendly and delicious burritos, while McDonald's fell short with a small, artificial-tasting, cheese-filled tortilla.

Ask any fast-food breakfast lover, and they'll tell you that you simply can't go wrong with a breakfast burrito.
However, not all breakfast burritos are created equal. While some are stocked full with fluffy eggs, crispy hash browns, hearty sausage, or perfectly salty bacon, others simply fall short with artificial-tasting cheese and limp tortillas.
In an attempt to find the very best fast-food burrito, I put McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, and Taco Bell to the ultimate test.
While each burrito had something different to offer, I found both of the Taco Bell breakfast burritos to be exactly what you would want for an on-the-go breakfast. The eggs were fluffy, the meat was flavorful, and the prices simply couldn't be beaten.
On the other hand, McDonald's fell short with its small, thin burrito filled with thick, artificial-tasting cheese. For $.99 more than one of the Taco Bell burritos, it also wasn't the best value by a long shot.
Here's a breakdown of every breakfast burrito that I tried, and how they ranked from worst to best according to taste and value.
