Just in time for Cinco de Mayo, Dunkin’ Donuts is making it easy to start your day with delicious burritos. Dunkin’ Donuts, America’s all-day, everyday stop for coffee and baked goods, today introduced two new oven-toasted breakfast burritos featuring the bold and hearty flavors of the Southwest. The new Southwest Steak Burrito includes seasoned strips of steak, scrambled eggs, fire-roasted vegetables, potatoes and Pepper Jack and Monterey Jack cheeses, all wrapped in a flour tortilla. The new Southwest Veggie Burrito features sweet potatoes, roasted corn and black beans along with scrambled eggs and Pepper Jack and Monterey Jack cheeses in a flour tortilla. Both are available for a limited time at participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurants nationwide.

According to Stan Frankenthaler, Executive Chef and Vice President of Product Innovation at Dunkin’ Brands, “At Dunkin’ Donuts, we’re committed to enhancing our menu by introducing unique and innovative flavors and tastes alongside our traditional menu favorites. Our Southwest Steak and Southwest Veggie Burritos offer our guests throughout the country the chance to experience the bold, delicious flavors of the Southwest, served in an easy-to-eat burrito perfect for enjoying on-the-go, any time of day.”

The new Southwest Burritos are the latest addition to Dunkin’ Donuts’ lineup of breakfast sandwiches, served fast and freshly-prepared, and available all day.
