Steps:

• Fry bacon until crispy, remove and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, chop into 1" sections. Drain the bacon grease from the pan, leaving approximately two teaspoons.
• Cook potato according to your microwave settings. Peel and chop into ½" cubes. Sprinkle potatoes with a pinch of salt and pepper, then fry in the bacon grease for a few minutes.
• Add two tablespoons of chopped onions to the pan (reserving one tablespoon for later). Add peppers and cook for a few more minutes, followed by the garlic. Cook for an additional 30 seconds.
• Whisk eggs in a bowl, season with a small amount of salt and pepper, then pour over the mixture in the pan, along with the bacon. Stir to incorporate the ingredients. When the eggs are almost set, stir in the cheese, and cook for an additional 30 seconds or until the eggs are cooked, and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
• Warm tortilla over a flame to soften and to slightly char. Spread the sour cream in a line going down the center of the tortilla.
• Add eggs over the sour cream. Top with the remaining onions, diced avocado, and cilantro (if you're lucky to have some on hand).
• Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce. Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla over the filling. Roll up tightly into a burrito and enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the pork sausage and onion into a skillet over medium heat, and cook until the sausage is browned, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain the excess grease.
• In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until the foam subsides, and cook and stir the beaten eggs with the chilies until softly scrambled but not wet, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scrambled eggs into a large bowl, and stir in the cooked sausage mixture.
• Place a tortilla onto a microwave-safe plate, and cook in the microwave on High setting for 10 to 20 seconds. The tortilla should be warm and pliable. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sausage and egg mixture in a line down the the tortilla, slightly off center. Top with about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese, and 1 tablespoon of salsa. Fold 2 opposite ends of the tortilla over the filling. Press the 2 ends down so they stay folded. Carefully roll the shorter unfolded edge over the burrito, pushing the filling to the back of the roll as you go, to snugly enclose the filling. Keep the 2 ends folded as you roll. Wrap in foil if desired. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

Steps:

• To make the beans, heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion for 5 mins until soft. Add both types of beans, the passata, chipotle paste, vinegar and sugar and simmer for 15 mins until thick and saucy. Season. Add more chipotle paste, sugar or vinegar to taste - it should be a balance of sweet, spicy and tangy. To make the salsa, combine all of the ingredients and season.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the peppers and mushrooms for 10 mins until soft. Squeeze small chunks of sausagemeat from the sausage skins into the pan and fry for 10 mins more until golden and cooked through.
• Warm the tortillas, then keep warm in a clean tea towel. Put the avocados, coriander, cheese and lime wedges (if using) in bowls.
• Just before serving, make the scrambled eggs. Heat the butter in a pan and add the cumin seeds. Sizzle for 1 min, then add the eggs, stirring slowly, until scrambled. Season and tip into a warmed bowl. Serve everything in the middle of the table with chilli sauce, if using, and let everyone dig in.
