I owe Dunkin’ a bit of an apology.
Last year when it changed its app’s rewards program, I threw a full-blown hissy fit. “What do you mean I won’t ‘earn’ free coffees as often as I used to?! Wahhh, I’m a big fat entitled baby!” – real quote.
Ya know what, though? I’ve actually grown to like the new rewards. Every month when Dunkin’ releases something new, there’s usually a nice deal or two to be had within the app. Without said deals, I probably wouldn’t be trying and enjoying half of its new menu items.
Case in point – the new Chorizo & Egg Wrap. I may have skipped this one if not for this month’s offer. I got a $3 wrap with the purchase of a drink I was already getting. That’s not the BEST deal ever, but it worked on me. I’ve long been a fan of Dunkin’s line of Wake-up Wraps, so I figured this one couldn’t be too bad.
I figured…
It turns out it’s kinda bad.
The idea of chorizo being on Dunkin’s menu probably should have been my first red flag, but I assumed it does breakfast sausage, so how different can it be? Oh, it be different.
When I unwrapped the Chorizo and Egg Wrap, it looked like a giant Cheez-It, or rather a brittle, red, dusty dry brick. When I bit in, it was all of those words, but thankfully did not taste like a brick. Instead, it tasted like quite the opposite, pure lukewarm slop.
Along with cubes of scrambled egg, there are chunks of rubbery chorizo, roasted veggies of which I couldn’t even register, a few beans, and a “dose” of some kind of (Mexican?) cheese sauce. On paper, that doesn’t sound bad at all, but no single ingredient really stood out. The egg got swallowed up, and the rest just blended together into an unpleasant mix of mildly spicy – I gotta use the word again – slop. I like my chorizo more crumbled and way crispier.
Now I’ll be fair, the spice was nice. There’s just enough there that it won’t derail your morning. I imagine it came mostly from the chorizo and the cheese. Either way that zesty flavor was almost enough to get a passing grade, but nothing else landed.
The cheese, oily sausage balls, and mushed-up veggies just made for a wet mess that, to be fair, somehow stayed within the walls of the red pepper wrap that I genuinely didn’t like. It’s more of a sandwich wrap than a soft taco or burrito. Those may seem similar, but this should’ve absolutely been served in a soft tortilla.
So yeah, this is the first misfire I’ve had from Dunkin’ in some time. I’d compare it to a sausage Pillsbury Toaster Scramble, but worse. Without the app deal, I would’ve never spent five bucks on this. I kinda wish I didn’t spend three. I’m gonna have to rescind my apology. I want the old reward system back! In conclusion, wahhhh, I’m still a big fat entitled baby.

Not to be gross, but if I had one on my way to work, I would spend all morning in the bathroom.
You should see a gastroenterologist.
Fair point, but I also love terrorizing my coworkers.
for real? who are these people who have constant uncontrollable diarrhea?
Idk who the op is but if they see this. Please die in a ditch. Go work a day dunks before you start complaining like a 4 year old child. Grow the fuck up
Visit a madre y padre Mexican food establishment near you for the real deal!
Just finished (I hope) the aftermath of ingesting one of these egg/chorizo bombs which included a bewildering tasting mess of something totally unlike the chorizo we revere here in the Southwest, two trips to the bathroom in rapid succession, and stomach/digestive distress for 3 hours afterward. All this fun for “just” the aforementioned price of five dollars! Joe Cool was right! Dunkins, you won’t see me near you again.
I bought a Chorizo and I never had one before. I absolutely loved it!! I think it was a little pricey. I did love it but it’s not really enough to fill you up for the price. I’m a regular at DD and have been going there for years sometimes twice a day!! Thank you!
Agree. I really liked it.
I just finished eating this and it was terrible. The only flavor it had was corn-like. I’m going to find out if it functions as a laxative. I want my $5 back.
I got it by accident and decided to try it. Liked it and will order it again.
I just had one this morning, it was gross. like a half digested slime came out of it and I immediately wreched.
Like how childish do you have to be to post a whole story about your wrap. Like go eat a bag of dicks ya dumb cunt. Grow up and stop annoying everyone in your life. There’s a reason you have no friends and No one likes you
I think its great for what it is. My new go to as a mid morning snack with hash browns.
