I don’t usually jump on trends so easily (okay, minus the sourdough trend.. that one I fully supported) BUT this folded tortilla trend is just too fun and delicious not to join in on! It’s basically a quesadilla with a fun twist (FOLDS!).

Super quick and easy, with TONS of flavour options, this one is a great recipe to have in your pocket when heading out for a relaxed camping weekend.

Other suggestions:

  • ground beef (cooked, obvs)

  • spinach

  • black beans

  • corn

  • more cheese

Step 2:

Cut your tortilla from the centre down to the edge (only on one side).

Crispy Folded Tortilla
Yield: 2 tortillas

A combo of smoky BBQ chicken, gooey cheese, and crunchy veg, all grilled to perfection over the campfire.

Ingredients

  • 2 large tortilla wraps 
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2-4 Tbsp BBQ sauce 
  • 1/8 cup red onion, diced 
  • 1/8 cup red pepper, diced 
  • 3-6 slices cheese (mozzarella or cheddar or whatever you like)
  • 1/2 avocado, pitted and sliced 

Instructions

  1. Make your campfire. Place your campfire grate over the fire and allow to heat up. 
  2. Grill chicken breast on the grate or in a cast iron pan over the fire until cooked through, about 5-8 minutes each side. 
  3. Slice chicken breast and mix with BBQ sauce in small bowl. Dice up red onion and red pepper. Slice cheese and avocado. 
  4. Lay tortilla wrap flat on a cutting board or plate and cut a straight line from the centre down to the edge of the wrap. You can imagine there are four quadrants or corners of the wrap. 
  5. Assemble wrap by placing toppings in each quadrant of the wrap. First I did cheese slices, then avocado and red onion, then red pepper, and finally BBQ chicken. 
  6. Fold up the wrap by folding each quadrant onto the next, in a circular direction. 
  7. Grill tortilla on the campfire grate or cast iron pan until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes each side. 
  8. Enjoy warm!
