Picture this you’re surrounded by the tranquility of nature, the crackling of a campfire providing warmth as the sun sets. What better way to enhance this perfect camping experience than with a hearty meal of campfire tacos? Whether camping solo, with friends, or with the whole family, these tacos will become a favorite outdoor tradition.
Ingredients You’ll Need
– 1 pound ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or chicken)
– 1 onion, diced
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 1 packet of taco seasoning
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
– 1 cup salsa
– 8-10 flour or corn tortillas
– Toppings shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, avocado slices, cilantro (optional but highly recommended!)
Steps to Make Campfire Tacos
1. Prepare Your Campfire
Before cooking, ensure your campfire has a good bed of hot coals. You want consistent heat to cook your ingredients evenly.
2. Cook the Meat and Veggies
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over the campfire until no longer pink. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until they soften and become fragrant.
3. Add Seasoning and Mix-ins
Stir in the taco seasoning packet, black beans, corn, and salsa. Let the mixture simmer over the campfire, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Warm Tortillas
While the meat mixture simmers, warm the tortillas. Heat them directly over the campfire on a grill grate or wrap them in foil and place them near the fire’s edge to warm through.
5. Assemble and Enjoy
Once everything is ready, spoon the meat mixture onto the warm tortillas. Top with your favorite toppings cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, avocado slices, and cilantro.
6. Dig In!
Serve your delicious campfire tacos hot and enjoy the flavorful combination of savory meat, crunchy veggies, and creamy toppings. These tacos are perfect for fueling up after a day of hiking, swimming, or simply relaxing in the great outdoors.
Pair your campfire tacos with chips, salsa, or a refreshing beverage for an added touch. Campfire cooking’s beauty lies in its simplicity and the joy of sharing a meal under the open sky.
