6 cooked pork sausage links, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 can (14 ounce) black beans, drained & rinsed

1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

at campsite
6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
12 taco-sized (8-inch) flour tortillas

method:
make ahead: spray 6 double sheets of heavy-duty foil with nonstick cooking spray.
in a large bowl, combine sausages, jalapenos, red peppers, onion, beans, corn, salsa, oil, salt, coriander and pepper.
divided sausage mixture evenly among prepared foil sheets.  fold foil into tent-style packets and seal edges tightly.  refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

at the campsite:  prepare campfire coals.  place packets on hot coals and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, moving packets occasionally, until sausage mixture is very hot.
transfer packets to a flat surface and open with caution, allowing steam to escape.  crack 1 egg into the centre of each packet.  season to taste with salt and pepper.
reseal packet, return to coals and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until eggs are done to your liking.  sprinkle with cheese and serve each packet with 2 tortillas.
