Seasoned taco beef and cold toppings loaded straight into a single-serve chip bag — a full taco dinner with no plates, no bowls and nothing to wash. One skillet on the camp stove is all it takes.
Ingredients
Taco Beef
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
To Build
- 4 bag single-serve nacho cheese tortilla chips (72 g each)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Set a large skillet over medium-high heat on your camp stove or a grate above the fire. Add the ground beef and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, until no pink remains.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and cook another 2 to 3 minutes so it coats every crumble and smells toasty. Drag the pan to a cooler spot on the grate to keep warm.
- While the beef cooks, squeeze each unopened chip bag gently to crush the chips a little and make room for toppings. Open the bag along the top, then roll the sides down an inch or two so it stands up like a bowl.
- Layer into each bag: a handful of shredded lettuce, a generous scoop of hot taco beef, then cheddar, salsa and a spoonful of sour cream.
- Hand them out with forks and eat straight from the bag while the beef is still steaming.
Chef's tips
- Brown and season the beef at home and carry it in a sealed container in the cooler — then it's just a 5-minute reheat at camp.
- Set the toppings out in small lidded containers so everyone builds their own and nothing sits open collecting bugs.
- If your beef is fattier than lean, tip off the excess grease before adding the seasoning or the chips will go soggy fast.
- Sturdier ridged or scoop-style chips hold up better under wet toppings than thin ones.
