Ingredients

  • 1 pound — ground beef

  • 1 (1 ounce) package — taco seasoning mix

  • 12 (5 inch) — corn tortillas

  • 1 cup — shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • ½ cup — chopped onion

  • 2 cups — shredded iceberg lettuce

  • 1 large — tomato, diced

  • 1 (8 ounce) jar — salsa

  • 1 (8 ounce) container — sour cream (Optional)

Directions

  • Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire.
  • Meanwhile, cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Pour off excess fat; stir taco seasoning into beef according to package directions.
  • Coat inside of a pie iron with cooking spray. Place 1 corn tortilla on one side, top with 1 scoop ground beef, sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese, add chopped onion; place 1 (more) corn tortilla on top. Close pie iron.
  • Cook taco over moderate campfire coals until tortillas have crisped and browned and taco is hot in center. Serve with lettuce, tomato, salsa, and sour cream. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
