Camping Nachos Dutch Oven Camping Recipe

Step 1

Prepare heat for cooking with your 12-inch cast iron Dutch oven over your campfire.

Step 2

To prevent sticking, apply a generous layer of vegetable oil to the bottom of your Dutch oven ... or ... use an aluminum or parchment paper Dutch oven liner.

Step 3

Layer half the tortilla chips, refried beans (dropping as dollops), onion, green chile peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, cheddar cheese and black olives.

Step 4

Now layer them again using the remaining ingredients.

Step 5

Place the Dutch oven lid on the oven and use approximately 5 coals on the bottom and 10 coals on top of the lid (you can easily use campfire coals or just use charcoal briquettes).

Step 6

Heat your camping nachos for 10-15 minutes until the ingredients are heated through and the cheese is melted. *See note below.

Step 7

Remove your Dutch oven from the heat, then top your nachos with sour cream and cilantro for serving. Enjoy!
