Breakfast Burrito
Breakfast burritos are the best when you’re out camping because they are super easy to put together and you can always get creative with the types of filling you use.
Ingredients – Makes 4 burritos
2 x tomatoes – diced
1 x 420g can of black beans
1 spicy chorizo sausage (150g) – sliced
10 large eggs – whisked together
1 bunch of fresh coriander
4 large flour tortillas
100g of grated cheese
1 avocado
Method
Step 1: Throw the chopped tomatoes into a small saucepan, and fry lightly on a low heat. Stir to prevent the tomatoes sticking to the pan.
Step 2: Once the tomatoes have softened, add the black beans and stir together until heated through. If you want to add a kick to your camping breakfast burritos, then some chilli or paprika can be added to the bean mix.
Step 3: Take off the heat and pop a lid on the pan to stop the heat escaping.
Step 4: Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over the campfire or on your camping stove and add the sliced chorizo. The chorizo will generate its own fat so you don’t need to use cooking oil.
Step 5: Once the chorizo is lightly browned, add the eggs and stir on a low heat until the eggs are cooked to your preference.
Step 6: Take off the heat when cooked to your preference.
Step 7: Re-heat the black beans if necessary and then add a dollop of black beans mix onto each tortilla.
Step 8: Top with cheese and then put the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese to make sure that it melts nicely.
Step 9: Add a couple of scoops of avocado, some salt and pepper if needed, sprinkle with coriander and wrap the whole thing up.
Beer Infused Nachos
Treat yourself to this delicious camping treat! Nachos are the perfect excuse to crack open another beer and relax around the fire in the great outdoors.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
500g ground pork or beef
1 onion, diced

2 bags tortilla chips
Extra toppings if you are feeling fancy – chopped coriander, lime wedges, sour cream
Home Preparation
At home, mix spice mixture and corn-starch in a small sandwich bag and pack with other food.
Method
Step 1: Once at the camp, brown your meat over hot white coals or low flame. Add onion, jalapeños and capsicum and cook until onions are fragrant.
Step 2: Add spice mixture to meat and veggies and stir in tomato paste.
Step 3: Crack open a beer and slowly pour half into skillet, stirring carefully to avoid steam. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often and adding water as needed to ensure a thick sauce.
