Healthy Camping Recipes
Skillet Scramble
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (choose your favorite variety)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter for sautéing
Instructions:
- Begin by cracking the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and beat them lightly with a fork. Set them aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil or butter and let it melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables until they become soft and the onions are translucent. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook without stirring for a minute or so, until they start to set around the edges.
- Gently stir the eggs and vegetables, cooking until the eggs are almost fully set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the egg and vegetable mixture. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a minute or two, just until the cheese is melted.
- Once the cheese is melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Your skillet scramble is ready to serve. Enjoy this hearty and nutritious start to your day!
Fish Tacos Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized fish fillets (like tilapia, cod, or mahi-mahi)
- 1/2 cup of pre-made coleslaw mix
- 4 small flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup of tartar sauce (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon of oil (for grilling the fish)
- Salt and pepper to season the fish
Instructions:
- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil on a grill or campfire-safe pan. Once heated, add the seasoned fish fillets.
- Cook the fish on each side for about 4-5 minutes or until it’s opaque and can easily be flaked with a fork.
- Remove the fish from the grill or pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Once rested, use a fork to flake the fish into pieces.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill or in the pan. Be sure to flip them once or twice to avoid burning.
- Spread each tortilla with a generous amount of tartar sauce.
- Distribute the flaked fish evenly onto the tortillas.
- Top each taco with the coleslaw mix.
- Fold the tortillas in half, and they’re ready to be enjoyed.
Note: You can also add some fresh cilantro, avocado slices, a squeeze of lime, or hot sauce to these tacos for extra flavor. Customize them to your liking!
