McDonald's McSkillet Burrito with Sausage is the big brother to the Dollar Menu Sausage Burrito and features scrambled eggs, potatoes, onions, roasted green peppers and red peppers, a sausage patty, shredded Cheddar and Jack cheese, a slice of American cheese, and a spicy salsa roja (red salsa) wrapped in a flour tortilla.
At a little more than 8 ounces, it's the largest single breakfast item on McDonald's morning menu and costs
$2.79.
Another way to describe a McSkillet Burrito would be to say that it's like a
BK Breakfast Bowl wrapped in a tortilla but not as good. While the tortilla does make it easy to eat on the go, I could do without the extra carbs in the morning.
It's a little bit different from the $1 Sausage Burrito beyond being bigger in that it has potatoes, shredded cheese, and the Salsa Roja. The sausage patty also comes as a whole patty torn into two in
Angus Snack Wrap fashion.

The salsa roja is the main flavor of the McSkillet Burrito; mostly because whoever made my burrito went a little crazy with the sauce gun. They call it a salsa roja but it tastes like hot sauce with some diced tomatoes thrown in; it's tart with a medium amount of heat. It's the spiciest item I've tried on the McDonald's menu although if the
Jalapeno Cheddar McChicken ever goes national, I might think differently.
The salsa roja pretty much covered up most of the flavors of the McSkillet Burrito. I could taste the sausage and American cheese occasionally but didn't really taste any peppers or Cheddar/Jack cheese. Also, somehow what little potatoes and veggies I had in my burrito ended up on one end. The eggs were nice and fluffy though.
If I were to suggest improvements, I would say less salsa roja, more shredded cheese, red and green peppers, and a dash of black pepper for added flavor. The McSkillet Burrito is one of those things you can probably make better and more easily at home in an actual skillet. You'd also get more value out of two Sausage Burritos.
