Pie Iron Tacos

We love to make these tacos in our pie irons over the open fire when we are camping. I think they are better than real tacos!

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (Optional)
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa
• 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 12 (5 inch) corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Spray the inside of a pie iron with cooking spray, and place a corn tortilla on one side. Place a scoop of ground beef on top of the tortilla, sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped onion. Finally, place another tortilla on top, and close the pie iron.

Step 3

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.
