Prepare the Salad:
Start by making the fresh salad that will complement the hearty burrito. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced tomatoes and onions. Add the pickled jalapenos, finely chopped coriander leaves, and a pinch of salt. Drizzle the Veeba Chilli Oregano sauce and fresh lemon juice over the ingredients. Toss everything together gently to coat and set it aside for later. -
Cook the Bacon:
In a large skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until they become crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Keep the bacon fat in the skillet for the next step, as it will add flavor to the sausage. -
Cook the Chicken Sausages:
In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the chicken sausages. Cook them over medium heat until they are golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces. -
Scramble the Eggs:
For the scrambled eggs, heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter has melted, crack the eggs into the pan. Add the milk to the eggs and whisk them gently as they begin to cook. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and remain soft and creamy. Once scrambled to your desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat. -
Assemble the Burritos:
Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla, followed by a portion of the crispy bacon, chicken sausage slices, and a generous amount of cheddar cheese. Top the filling with a spoonful of the freshly made onion-tomato salad. -
Wrap and Serve:
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Serve each Loaded Breakfast Burrito warm, and enjoy the combination of crispy, creamy, and savory flavors in every bite.
