When looking for something new (and quick and easy) for our last camping meal, I came across what appears to be a very popular camping food in the USA (not S’Mores – you can read about that experience here). It’s Tacos in a Bag.
Not so big here in Australia from what I can see though, but I may be wrong – just can’t find much on it from an Australian perspective.
So, next camping trip if you want something fast, relatively mess free, and a bit of a novelty dish, then try this.

You need:
- Small individual bags of corn chips (like CCs or Doritos)
- Cooked Mince meat (seasoned with your Taco mix of choice) – cook at campsite or reheat
- Lettuce/Salsa/Avocado/ Tomato/Grated Cheese/Sour Cream (all or some)
Assembly:
- With the corn chips packet still sealed, lightly crush the corn chips (don’t pulverise).
- Cut open the packet, so one side is completely open.
- Add the ingredients of choice (as listed above), and mix gently.
- Grab a fork, and eat straight from the packet!
Minimal washing up. Kids love it (and assemble their own, so you get some help).
