What You'll Learn
Dunkin Donuts' GranDDe Burrito
On February 29, 2016, Dunkin' Donuts unveiled its biggest breakfast sandwich launch of the year: the GranDDe Burrito. The burrito is a large, 10-ounce breakfast option that comes with a delicious tortilla filled with a spicy omelet, including jalapenos, red bell peppers, and pepper jack cheese with habanero. It also includes a rice and bean blend with corn, fire-roasted peppers, and onions. The GranDDe Burrito was served in two versions: sausage and veggie. It was available at participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants nationwide for a limited time beginning on February 29, 2016.
The GranDDe Burrito was marketed as a hearty meal that could fill you up at any time of the day. It was priced at $3.99, which many customers found to be a reasonable value for a filling meal. The burrito was served wrapped in foil, giving it an authentic feel. However, some customers found that the tortilla became hard if they waited too long to eat it.
The GranDDe Burrito was part of Dunkin' Donuts' spring menu, which also included new coffee flavors inspired by Baskin-Robbins ice cream, such as Pistachio, Butter Pecan, and Cookie Dough. The chain also introduced the Strawberry Shortcake Croissant Donut, featuring a classic glazed croissant donut with a strawberry buttercream filling and white and strawberry icing. In addition, Dunkin' Donuts brought back two varieties of Cheesecake Squares: the OREO Cheesecake Square and the Raspberry Cheesecake Square. These squares were filled with creamy cheesecake and finished with icing and candy or cookie crumbles.

- Optional toppings: avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, salsa, fresh cilantro, lime, Greek yogurt, etc.
Instructions:
- Marinate the steak: Combine the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, and steak in a Ziplock bag. Marinate for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sauté for about 1-2 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from heat.
- Beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until cooked.
- Warm the tortillas.

Breakfast bowls with chorizo, peppers, and egg
Ingredients
- Chorizo (beef, pork, or soy varieties)
- Eggs
- Bell peppers
- Cheese (cheddar, Cotija, or a Mexican blend)
- Onion
- Seasonings (salt, garlic powder, etc.)
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it is cooked through. You can use a non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to prevent the chorizo's acidity from affecting the seasoning.
- Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. You can also include other vegetables like garlic, tomatoes, or spices like paprika for extra flavor. Sauté until the vegetables are caramelized and tender.
- Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the skillet. Stir the mixture until the eggs are cooked.
- Turn off the heat and add shredded cheese, stirring until it melts. You can use cheddar, Cotija cheese crumbles, or a blend of Mexican cheeses.
- Serve in a bowl with additional cheese crumbles and your choice of garnish, such as avocado, radishes, green onions, or cilantro.
Customization
You can customize this breakfast bowl by adding other ingredients like diced potatoes, beans, or even making it into a breakfast burrito by wrapping it in a tortilla. Additionally, if you're health-conscious, you can opt for soy chorizo and use skim milk and modified corn starch in your eggs for a lighter version.
Dunkin' Donuts Breakfast Options
While I cannot find specific references to "breakfast bowls with chorizo, peppers, and egg" at Dunkin' Donuts, the coffee and baked goods chain has offered various breakfast items over the years, including burritos and bowls.

Breakfast burritos with cheese, egg, beans, and tomatoes
Breakfast burritos are a delicious and hearty way to start the day, and Dunkin Donuts has offered them in the past. While the exact recipe is hard to find, one thing is sure: they were packed with flavour!
One Reddit user recalled the burritos of their childhood, brought home by their uncle who worked at Dunkin. They remembered them as being filled with cheese, egg, beans, and possibly tomatoes. This was confirmed by another user, who also remembered the breakfast burritos of yesteryear, with the same ingredients.
Dunkin Donuts did indeed launch a breakfast burrito in 2016, called the GranDDe Burrito. This was a large, 10-ounce burrito with a tortilla filled with a spicy omelette, jalapenos, red bell peppers, and pepper jack cheese with habanero. This was served with a rice and bean blend, including corn, fire-roasted peppers, and onions. It was available in sausage and veggie versions and was a limited-time offering.
The GranDDe Burrito was not the only breakfast burrito on the menu at Dunkin Donuts. Another Reddit user recalled the Southwest steak breakfast burrito and a meatless version, which were available around 2015-2016. While these burritos were certainly tasty, one customer was disappointed that the steak burrito they received was much smaller than the one pictured.
While the breakfast burritos with cheese, egg, beans, and tomatoes may no longer be available at Dunkin Donuts, the chain has continued to innovate with new breakfast options, including a highly-anticipated egg wrap.
