Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
12 (5 inch) corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1 large tomato, diced

Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring to crumble, until browned. Pour off excess fat, and mix in the taco seasoning according to package directions.

Cook the taco over the moderate coals of a campfire until the tortillas have crisped and browned, and the taco is hot in the center. Serve with lettuce, tomato, salsa, and sour cream. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
