How to Make Bean Burritos Simple For Camping

  1. Warm 2-3 corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or until soft and pliable.
  2. Heat 1 (15-ounce) can of your favorite beans (black, pinto, or kidney) in a saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through. Mash slightly with a fork for a thicker consistency, if desired.
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup of onion and add it to the warmed beans. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of chopped jalapeƱo (optional, adjust to taste).
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the beans.
  5. Spoon the bean mixture into the center of each warmed tortilla.
  6. Roll up the burritos tightly.
  7. For a camping twist, wrap each burrito in foil before cooking on hot coals or in a cast iron skillet over a campfire until heated through (about 5-7 minutes). Alternatively, microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and your favorite salsa.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
