Instructions

Prepare the meat (at home or at camp):

  1. Add oil to pan and warm over medium-low heat (or slightly indirect campfire flames).Add the taco seasoning and salt.Cook until meat begins to brown, breaking into smaller pieces with a metal spatula as the meat cooks.
  2. Add tomatoes, and continue simmering until the meat is cooked through and the tomato liquid mostly cooks off.
  3. Drain beans and add to meat. Cook until beans are warm.Alternatively, if your fire was a little hotter than intended and your meat seems a little dry, add the beans along with all (or most) of the liquid from the can.
  4. If preparing at home ahead of time, allow taco meat to cool for a few minutes, then move to the fridge. Optionally, place in a freezer storage bag and freeze for up to 4 months until packing camping cooler.After moving to the cooler, keep the cooler as cold as possible (packed with ice or other frozen goods) and use meat within 1-2 days. Reheat on a camp stove or campfire before serving.Note: If reheating from a mostly frozen state, it may be helpful to add a little extra liquid to the meat, such as salsa, to help ensure that it doesn't stick to the pot or pan.

Assemble Tacos:

  1. Warm tortillas individually on camp stove flame. After heating, wrap in foil or a towel to keep warm.Alternatively, wrap the stack of tortillas in foil and warm over indirect campfire heat.
  2. Optionally, create a stacked double-layer taco by spreading guacamole or sour cream on one flour tortilla, and placing a crunchy taco shell on top of the tortilla. Gently press the tortilla and shell together.
  3. Add desired amount of taco meat to a warm tortilla. Add desired toppings. Serve immediately.
