Campfire Quesadillas

Ingredients:

• 1 large flour tortilla
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favourite blend)
• 1/2 cup cooked diced chicken or beef
• 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (assorted colours)
• 1/4 cup sliced onions
• Salsa, sour cream, and guacamole for serving

Directions:

1. Prepare the campfire or grill and let it reach medium heat.

2. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface. Put the tortilla on the foil.

3. On one half of the tortilla, add the shredded cheese, cooked diced chicken or beef, diced bell peppers, and sliced onions.

4. Fold the tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape, and tightly wrap it with the foil to form a packet.

5. Carefully place the foil-wrapped quesadilla on the grill grate or directly over the campfire.

6. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the cheese is melted, and the tortilla is crispy.

7. Unwrap the quesadilla, cut it into wedges, and serve hot with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.

Campfire Chili Dogs

Ingredients:

• 6 hot dogs
• 12 strips of bacon
• 6 hot dog buns
• 1 cup chili (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preferred type)
• Your favourite condiments (e.g., ketchup, mustard, onions, etc.)

Directions:

1. Preheat your campfire until you have a good bed of hot coals.

2. Wrap each hot dog with two strips of bacon, securing the ends with wooden skewers or long roasting sticks.

3. Hold the bacon-wrapped hot dogs over the campfire, rotating them occasionally, until the bacon becomes crispy and the hot dogs are thoroughly heated. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

4. While the hot dogs are cooking, warm the chili in a pot or over the campfire until it’s hot and ready to serve.

5. Toast the hot dog buns over the campfire for a few seconds, just enough to give them a light char and warm them up.

6. Assemble the campfire chili dogs by placing a bacon-wrapped hot dog into each bun. Top each hot dog with a generous scoop of chili and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Add your favourite condiments to taste.
