Easy Camping Dinners: Burrito Bowls
Camping is always made better with good food; that’s a fact. But how often have you turned away from making amazing food on camping trips because it’s too much of a bother? With just a little planning and preparation you can have both.
My go-to easy camping dinner is burrito bowls. They’re filling and full of flavor that spices up your camping dinner, in comparison to the traditional camping food, which can be more on the bland side. The best thing about this dinner is that it is versatile. You can add different ingredients and salsas to make your burrito bowl fit your taste. In the past, I've added things like pinto beans, corn, green onion, lettuce, radishes, mushrooms sautéed in taco seasoning, pico de gallo, and chipotle hot sauce. Sometimes, if I don’t feel like adding to the dish-pile, I bring along some tortillas to turn the bowls into burritos. I also love to use corn chips to add a little crunch and saltiness to the bowls.
This easy camping dinner can also be made vegetarian or vegan! I recommend substituting pinto beans or sautéed mushrooms in place of the meat.
