Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef prepared
- 1 cup salsa
- Head of lettuce
- 1 cup Tex Mex shredded cheese
- Nacho chips
- Sour cream optional
- Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients.

- Cook over the fire until the cheese is melted and the dish is heated completely.
- Top with fresh cilantro.
- Serve with lettuce, nachos, and a dollop of sour cream.
Notes
- Cook and season the ground beef at home, then store in a large freezer bag for camping. This makes prep and cleanup while camping easy!
- Be sure to use oven mitts when handling the hot cast iron.
- When cooking with cast iron, be sure to season the surface first.
- Always use gloves or oven mitts while cooking, as the surface of the iron will be hot.
- Cook the recipe over an open fire using hot coals, not open flames. A fire that is too hot will burn the outside of your recipe and not cook the inside.
- Be sure to clean the cast iron with a rough vegetable scrubber, rinse, and dry thoroughly before storing.
