Cooking quesadillas over a campfire adds a rustic touch to this classic Mexican dish. Follow this easy recipe to enjoy cheesy, melty goodness during your outdoor adventure.
Ingredients:
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– 1 cup cooked chicken or beef, shredded (optional)
– 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
– 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
– 1/4 cup diced green onions or chives
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Cooking spray or olive oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Campfire:
– Start your campfire and allow it to burn down to hot coals or medium-high heat.
2. Assemble the Quesadillas:
– Lay out two tortillas on a clean surface.
– Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over each tortilla.
– Layer one tortilla with cooked chicken or beef (if using), black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, and green onions or chives.
– Season with salt and pepper to taste.
– Top each loaded tortilla with the remaining two tortillas to form quesadilla sandwiches.
3. Cook Over the Campfire:
– Lightly spray or brush one side of each quesadilla with cooking spray or olive oil.
– Carefully place the quesadillas, oil side down, directly on the grill grate over the hot coals.
– Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
– Remove the quesadillas from the grill and let them cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
– Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or additional diced veggies.
Tips:
– Customize your quesadillas with your favorite fillings such as mushrooms, spinach, or different types of cheese.
