Ingredients You’ll Need
– 1 bag of tortilla chips (choose your favorite variety)
– 1 pound ground beef or turkey
– 1 packet of taco seasoning
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup salsa (your preferred heat level)
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– Toppings sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, sour cream, guacamole, cilantro (customize to your liking!)
Steps to Make Campfire Nachos
1. Prepare Your Campfire
Start by setting up a sturdy campfire with a good bed of hot coals. You’ll need consistent heat to melt the cheese and evenly heat the toppings.
2. Cook the Meat
Brown the ground meat over the campfire in a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
3. Season and Mix
Stir in the taco seasoning packet and black beans. Let it simmer over the campfire, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Layer the Nachos
Spread a layer of tortilla chips on the bottom of a cast iron skillet or a disposable aluminum pan. Spoon the meat and bean mixture evenly over the chips.
5. Add Cheese and Toppings
Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the nachos. Top with sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and any other toppings you desire.
6. Heat and Melt
Carefully place the skillet or pan over the campfire, ensuring it’s stable and won’t tip. Cover with a lid or foil to help the cheese melt evenly. Heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve and Enjoy
Once the cheese is melted to perfection, remove from the heat and let cool for a moment. Garnish with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro. Scoop up and enjoy your delicious campfire nachos!
These nachos are easy to make and customizable to suit everyone’s tastes. They’re perfect for sharing around the campfire after hiking, fishing, or enjoying nature’s beauty.
