I am always looking for easy camping recipes to make camp life better. These easy campfire burritos are a go-to for a quick, melty and delicious meal. To make it even easier I recommend making the ground beef with taco seasoning prior to your camping trip and freezing it. It then acts as its own ice in the cooler and creates one less step in making your meal at the campsite.
The rice can also be made ahead of time and put in an air tight container in the cooler. The burritos assemble easily and it is something that everyone can pitch in at. They provide delicious flavor and I love cooking them over the campfire because the edges get a nice crisp to them.
