Camping Chicken Quesadillas

These make-ahead quesadillas are a genius campfire dinner solution. Assemble and wrap in foil at home, then once you get to camp, just throw over hot coals for a quick campsite meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast
  • 1 cup low-sodium black beans, rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded mexican-style cheese blend
  • 4 8-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:

  • Combine chicken, black beans, chili powder and cilantro in a medium bowl.
  • Tear off four 12-inch pieces of foil. Place a tortilla on a piece of foil and evenly spread 1/2 cup chicken mixture and 1/4 cup cheese over half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half, then wrap in the foil. Repeat with the remaining foil, tortillas, chicken mixture and cheese.
  • Mash avocado, lime juice, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl until chunky-smooth. Transfer to small container with a tight-fitting lid. Before closing the lid, press a small piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning. Close the container.
  • Prepare a campfire and let it burn down to the coals. Cook the foil-wrapped quesadillas 4 to 6 inches above the coals, turning once, until hot, 5 to 10 minutes. Open carefully. Stir the guacamole and serve with the quesadillas.
