Camp Taco Salad

To adapt our favorite taco salad recipe for camping, I cook the ground beef at home until no longer pink. I also combine lettuce, cheese and diced tomatoes in a resealable bag. On site, I simmer the meat with a can of chili beans, then add a packet of taco seasoning with water. Come time to eat, top tortilla chips with the meat/bean mixture and other fixings. —Susan W., Minot AFB, North Dakota
