Instructions

Step 1. Preparing the ingredients

Before we can start assembling our delectable Folded Tortilla Wraps, it's important to ensure that all our ingredients are properly prepared. In this section, we'll guide you through the initial steps of this camping recipe, from cutting and seasoning to cooking the key components. So, let's get started!

  • Preparing the potatoes: Begin by scrubbing the potatoes clean under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Once cleaned, carefully dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. This will ensure that they cook evenly and quickly when we start cooking them later on. Set the diced potatoes aside for now.
  • Prepping the ground meat: If you've chosen ground meat as part of your filling, it's time to give it some flavor. In a large pot or skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and allow it to heat up. While the oil is heating, finely chop some garlic and onion into small pieces. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and onion to the pot and sauté them until they become fragrant and translucent.
  • Adding the ground meat: Once the garlic and onion have cooked to perfection, it's time to introduce the ground meat to the pot. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the meat to season it. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, break up the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks, ensuring that it browns evenly. Continue cooking until the meat is no longer pink and has developed a rich, savory flavor.
  • Incorporating the potatoes: With the ground meat nicely browned, it's time to introduce our diced potatoes to the mix. Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring gently to combine them with the meat. The heat will begin to soften the potatoes and infuse them with the delicious flavors from the meat and seasonings.
  • Cooking the mixture: Cover the pot and allow the mixture of ground meat and potatoes to cook over medium heat. This will help the potatoes to become tender and absorb the savory flavors of the meat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your potato cubes, but typically it takes around 10-15 minutes for the potatoes to become fork-tender.

Step 2. Assembling the tortilla wrap

With the potatoes and ground meat mixture cooked to perfection, it's time to move on to the exciting part—creating the flavorful layers that will make our Folded Tortilla Wraps truly outstanding. In this section, we'll guide you through the remaining steps of this camping recipe, where vibrant cabbage, zesty red onion, tangy pickles, and melty mozzarella come together in a symphony of flavors. Let's dive in!

  • Preparing the cabbage and red onion: Take a moment to thinly slice the cabbage, ensuring that the pieces are bite-sized and easy to fold into the tortillas. Next, finely slice the zesty red onion, adding a pop of color and tangy crunch to our wraps. Set both the cabbage and red onion aside for now.
  • Assembling the folded tortilla wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface, and begin by adding a generous spoonful of the cooked potato and ground meat mixture at the center of the tortilla. Spread it evenly, leaving some space around the edges to facilitate folding. Next, layer on a handful of the thinly sliced cabbage, followed by a sprinkle of zesty red onion. To add a tangy kick, place a few tangy pickles on top. Finally, generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the filling, allowing it to melt and bind the ingredients together.
  • Folding the tortilla wraps: Now comes the fun part—folding the tortilla wraps into neat little packages. Start by folding the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling, tucking it snugly underneath. Next, fold in the sides of the tortilla, creating a rectangular shape. Carefully roll the tortilla from the bottom, ensuring that the filling remains secure inside. Repeat these steps for each tortilla, creating a lineup of beautifully folded wraps.
  • Heating the folded tortilla wraps: To achieve that delightful melted cheese and warm, toasty tortilla, it's time to heat our folded wraps. You have a few options here—place the wraps on a preheated grill over the campfire, cook them in a well-oiled skillet over medium heat, or wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them directly over the fire. Whichever method you choose, be sure to cook the wraps until the tortillas turn golden brown and the cheese has melted to ooey-gooey perfection.

Once the tortillas have reached a delightful crispness and the cheese has melted, carefully remove the wraps from the heat. Allow them to cool for a moment before indulging in the mouthwatering flavors and textures of your Folded Tortilla Wraps.

Step 3. Serving your tortilla wrap

Dips

Consider serving your Folded Tortilla Wraps with a selection of delightful accompaniments and dips. Freshly made guacamole, salsa, or sour cream can add an extra burst of flavor and creaminess to the wraps. Additionally, a side of crispy tortilla chips or a refreshing salad can complement the wraps perfectly.

Customization and variation

One of the joys of this recipe is its versatility. Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preferences or the ingredients you have on hand. Experiment with different types of cheeses, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce for some heat, or incorporate grilled vegetables for an extra layer of smoky goodness. Let your creativity shine and make the recipe uniquely yours.

Storage and leftovers:

If you have any leftover Folded Tortilla Wraps, you can store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil. They can be enjoyed as a quick and satisfying meal the next day, either cold or reheated over a campfire or portable stove. Just be sure to store any accompanying sauces or dips separately to maintain their freshness.

As you relish the delicious combination of textures and flavors in each bite of your Folded Tortilla Wraps, take a moment to appreciate the joy of connecting with nature through food. We hope this recipe has added a touch of culinary delight to your camping adventures. Happy cooking and happy camping!
