Campfire Enchiladas

Step 1

Preheat campfire coals until very hot. Once coals are hot, set aside around 15-20 coals aside for easy access (you'll be setting them on top of your Dutch oven).Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and set them on the hot charcoals for a few minutes to warm them up. (I do this while dicing the vegetables.) Set aside (still wrapped in foil).Add oil, diced onion, peppers, tomatoes (if using), taco seasoning and salt to the Dutch oven. Set the oven on the coals and cook until tender.

Step 2

Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and scoop the veggies out into a bowl. Add the beans to the veggies and stir.Unwrap the tortillas and open the canned crab (if using).Pour one can of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the Dutch oven.

Step 3

Use the foil from the tortillas as a workspace (if needed). Add about 1/4 cup of the veggie mixture to a tortilla. (Filling amount is approximate and will vary depending on the size of your tortillas.) Add a little canned crab to the tortilla.Roll the tortilla and set it seam-side down in the Dutch oven / enchilada sauce.

Step 4

Repeat, filling remaining tortillas and placing them in the sauce. If you've got extra filling, spoon it into the Dutch oven. I like to add it under the enchiladas, spooning in just before I add the last few filled tortillas.

Step 5

Top the tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

Step 6

Close the Dutch oven lid. Set the oven on the hot coals and top the lid with 15-20 pieces of hot charcoal.

Step 7

Cook 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden. If you used tomatoes, you'll likely need to cook the enchiladas the full 20 minutes to let the liquid simmer down.Allow enchiladas to cool down for a few minutes before serving.
