These easy make-ahead camping burritos are a quick, fuss-free, and satisfying grilled meal perfect for camping, tailgating, or any outdoor adventure. Made with simple pantry staples, they deliver smoky grilled flavor and gooey cheese with seasoned fillings.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (10-inch size works best for rolling and grilling)
  • Black beans, drained and rinsed (canned is fine)
  • Cooked rice (white or brown, about 1 cup, cooled)
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack; a blend works well)
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Bell peppers, diced (red or green)
  • Garlic, minced (about 2 cloves)
  • Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (optional, about ½ teaspoon)
  • Fresh lime juice (from about half a lime)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (about 2 tablespoons, optional)
  • Olive oil (for sautéing veggies)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • Hot sauce or salsa (optional, for an extra kick)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bell peppers, sautéing until they soften and just start to brown (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the black beans, cooked rice, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and well combined.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. Let the filling cool slightly to make assembly easier.
  4. Lay out a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about ½ cup (120g) of the filling into the center. Sprinkle a generous ¼ cup (28g) of shredded cheese over the filling.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and then roll tightly from the bottom up to encase the filling securely. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  6. Wrap each burrito individually in a sheet of aluminum foil to seal in moisture and keep the burrito intact on the grill.
  7. Place foil-wrapped burritos over medium heat on your grill or campfire grate. Heat for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to get an even char on both sides. Burritos are ready when the foil feels hot and the tortillas have grill marks.
  8. Carefully unwrap the burritos (watch for steam!) and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt and your favorite salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

If the filling feels too dry, add a small splash of water or broth before wrapping to keep burritos moist on the grill. Roll tortillas tightly to prevent bursting. Double-wrap burritos in foil if cooking over hot coals or flare-ups. Pre-cook filling to meld flavors and ensure heat. Burritos can be assembled the night before and refrigerated wrapped in foil. For vegan versions, use dairy-free cheese or avocado slices and dairy-free yogurt. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas but handle gently.
