Where is the mcskillet burrito

This large breakfast burrito was filled with either sausage or chicken, potatoes, vegetables, two types of cheese and a fire-roasted tomato salsa. The chicken version was delicious.

And if the whole burrito doesn't make a nationwide comeback, the salsa alone could be popular. We're going back a ways here. Born in , this hot ham and American cheese sandwich made a short return to the Burger King menu in To stick to the pre-social media '70s vibe, the company allowed people to call a phone number to "like, comment on and share" the sandwich's return.

You can still walk into some older Wendy's and see the former footprint of these fast food salad bars. They were very popular and the options expanded over time, becoming known as the Garden Spot.

Some regions of the U. It seems to be popular in colder climates. Maybe the most recent subtraction from a fast food menu, it appears Arby's is only offering fries of the curly variety now. While the curly fries have somewhat of a cult following and are delicious with a side of cheese sauce, some have called for Arby's to make fries straight again.

If there ever was a fast food item with more rabid, vocal fans, we don't know about it. The McSkillet Burrito was McDonald's carefully crafted response in food form to mids market research that said its customers wanted bigger, bolder breakfast options. It served as a second purpose, though, as an attempt to cater to what the company thought was an underserved market — or at least a demographic that wasn't well-represented in McDonald's customer base at that point.

When McDonald's launched the McSkillet Burrito, an item inspired by Mexican-American cuisine and including traditional Mexican ingredients like salsa and a tortilla, its marketing campaign specifically targeted Latino news outlets, releasing a statement about its first new nationally-released breakfast item in five years on Hispanic PR Newswire. Around the same time, according to QSR Magazine , McDonald's teamed up with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund to sponsor and fund educational opportunities for Hispanic high school students — a charitable move, but one the company leveraged to increase its visibility among people with a Central or South American racial background.

Despite the hard and aggressive sell, and the fact that it was the first major addition to its breakfast menu in years — and a nice alternative to the eggs-on-fluffy-bread approach that dominated its morning offerings — McDonald's couldn't get the McSkillet Burrito to work. The entree wasn't only the biggest thing on the breakfast menu — it weighed half a pound, according to Brand Eating — but it was also among the most expensive. Perhaps the relatively high price point turned off McDonald's customers used to familiar foods for rock-bottom prices.

The McSkillet Burrito also had to contend with other outlets offering more assured Mexican-style breakfast foods. Breakfast burritos made and sold by small and independent restaurants have been part of the American food scene for decades, and McDonald's likely had a hard time making inroads into that sector, where the food was just as inexpensive and just as portable.

But no matter the reason, McDonald's quietly started to discontinue the McSkillet Burrito in the summer of , according to Chowhound. The McSkillet wasn't really new Instagram. Thanks for the review. I wish they still had these in my area. I used to get it with no sausage, still yummy. I loved the McSkillet Burrito! They took it off the menu here in NJ a few months ago, and now I'm sad.

Agreed, this portion size could have been made slightly larger. What's funny is that they already put plenty of the salsa and yet when I ordered they gave me two more salsa packets to put on They didn't give me any salsa packets! I didn't get a lot of peppers either; it would have added a lot of flavor. I don't know why they call it the McSkillet Burrito with Sausage; it's not like they offer any other version of it. At least not according to the McDonald's website anyway.
