Carl’s Jr. heats up breakfast with chorizo

June 23, 2014

Carl’s Jr. has introduced two new breakfast items featuring Mexican chorizo – the new Made from Scratch Chorizo, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and Chorizo, Egg & Cheese Burrito are now available at participating restaurants.

According to a news release, the Made from Scratch Chorizo, Egg & Cheese Biscuit features chorizo and egg topped with spicy pepper-Jack cheese and served inside the brand’s signature Made from Scratch Buttermilk Biscuit. The Chorizo, Egg & Cheese Burrito features spicy chorizo, scrambled eggs, shredded Jack and cheddar cheeses, Hash Round nuggets and pico de gallo salsa, all wrapped in a flour tortilla.

“Since Carl’s Jr. had its start in Southern California, our guests’ tastes have been strongly influenced by Mexican food, seasoning and spices over the years,” CMO Brad Haley said in the release “So, it made perfect sense for us to use a classic Mexican chorizo sausage in our new breakfast biscuit and burrito … Either way you go, the spicy seasoning in the chorizo adds a ton of flavor in every bite.”

The new Made from Scratch Chorizo, Egg & Cheese Biscuit is available for $2.29, the Burrito for $3.49, and each may be ordered in a combo meal with Hash Rounds and choice of drink for $3.79 and $4.99, respectively.

Also to mark summer’s arrival, Carl’s Jr. has brought back its Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich. For a limited time, guests can receive a free Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich with the purchase of a Big Chicken Fillet Sandwich Combo at participating restaurants. The ice cream treat may also be ordered separately for $1.49.
