Campfire Fajitas

By David Sweet, About.com

A camping recipe from Chris. The smoke from the campfire along with the liquid smoke make for a very unique (and quite delicious) combo. Save your leftovers for Tacos in a Bag on tomorrow's hike!

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large green bell pepper
  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • flour tortillas
  • Guacamole
  • sour cream
  • shredded cheese

Preparation:

At home: Slice chicken into 2-3 inch strips, place in a large zipper bag, add olive oil, garlic, liquid smoke and spices, and refrigerate. De-seed and core the peppers, slice them into 2-3 inch strips as well, then do the same with the onion. Place all of these together in an air-tight container and refrigerate.

At camp: Get a hot fire going and place the chicken across the campfire grate. While the chicken is cooking, in a large skillet melt the butter and add the vegetables. saute over medium heat, until the onions become translucent. Combine everything in a flour tortilla and enjoy!
