IHOP Classic Egg Burritos with Sausage
These sausage egg burritos are high, driven by buttermilk, the aged cheese blend, and diced tomatoes.
Most of this is cooked to order, which is the best case for histamine. Even so, a restaurant kitchen preps ahead and holds things warm through a service, so freshness varies more than it would at home. The rating above comes from the chain's published ingredients. If a dish is borderline for you, asking how it is prepared tells you more than the menu does.
These are flour tortillas filled with eggs, a jack and cheddar blend, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and pork sausage.
-
Jack & cheddar blend and buttermilk — the aged cheese and cultured buttermilk both run high, and the diced tomatoes bring a liberator alongside them.
-
Sodium metabisulfite and the tortilla base — the sulfite-treated component sits high, while the enriched flour, yeast, soybean oil, and margarine add moderate weight.
The eggs and peppers are the milder parts, so a plainer egg dish without the aged cheese and tomato is a lower-histamine route.
