Pizza Quesadillas Recipe

Pizza Quesadillas is an easy and quick lunch for a campout. You can cook the quesadillas on a piece of foil on the grill or on a cast iron griddle. In a pinch we have even cooked them directly on the griddle – you just have to be a little more careful when you are turning them.

Camp cooking can offer some challenges, but it can also be very rewarding. Many people stick to hotdogs and hamburgers at camp. But it is easy and fun to get a little more creative. So here are some recipes to put in your camping cookbook.

Easy Chicken Quesadillas

When DS’s den were Webelos, one of our den members was a vegetarian. This made camp cooking a little more interesting. The other den members wanted him to be fully included, but they weren’t willing to give up meat themselves. So when we went camping we used “meat optional” recipes like chicken or pizza quesadillas.

Breakfast Burritos

These are easy and don’t require any real recipe. Cook some sausage or bacon over your fire or on the stove. Add in some onions, peppers, and mushrooms if you like and cook until soft. Add some scrambled eggs and cook until set. Spoon mixture into warm tortillas and top with cheese and salsa. Enjoy!

Smacos Recipe (S’Mores Tacos)
