Equipment

  • Traeger Grill (we used our Tailgater)
  • Cast iron skillet
  • Bowl
  • Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/2 a leftover baked potato chopped
  • 1 can whole corn kernels or fiesta corn drained
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded or small-diced cheese
  • 1 can enchilada sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet (preferably a camping-friendly cast iron one), cook chopped onions in a tablespoon of vegetable oil until just softened. Add ground beef and cook thoroughly.
  • Crumble with a spoon or spatula as needed. Drain any excess grease from the cooked beef. In a bowl, combine ground beef, leftover baked potato cut into small cubes, and can of corn, drained. Stir well and season to taste with salt and pepper or a rub. Stir in 1 cup cheese and set the entire mixture aside.
  • In the same pan from earlier (you don’t need to wash it), pour in about ¼ cup vegetable oil (just enough to cover the bottom of the pan to allow for shallow frying). Heat on medium until oil is hot.
  • Carefully place tortillas, one at a time, into hot oil and fry briefly. This should only take 30 seconds per tortilla. Remove tortillas and drain on a paper towel, keeping covered.
  • Pour off remaining oil from pan when done frying the tortillas. You can leave about 1 tsp in the pan. Pour in ¼ of the can of enchilada sauce, and spread evenly in pan.
  • Spoon several tablespoons full of beef mixture in the center of a tortilla. Carefully roll up tortilla around filling, and place in the prepared pan, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top of rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese on top.
  • Place entire skillet in grill and cook at 350* for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through. If you don’t have a grill, place the skillet on the grate of a campfire, with the fire to the side (indirect heat). Cover with aluminum foil and heat for 30-40 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
  • Serve immediately.
