Easy Peasy Recipeasies

I have a new favorite camp meal to share and I couldn't find a thread of such staples, so post them here!

Criteria:
- Fresher the better, without too many ingredients that your 6 year old can't pronounce. (Keep your spam in the bomb shelter where it belongs)
- Quick prep, easy clean up, with as little as possible pre-made at home since weekend camping shouldn't feel like packing for a river trip.
- Think single skillet over an open fire

With that in mind, I'd like to recommend this stuff:

Sear some onions, meat, etc., throw in a bag of sauce and dump it on a tortilla. Here's a recent photo taken just before slicing up a ribeye :steak:



What's your favorite thing to cook on a tailgate?

One of my go-tos after a long day of hiking, etc. is my interpretation of a pilaf that Ara prepared during one of his classes at Overland Expo 2011.

It's a one-pan meal, can be prepped entirely on-site, requires minimal or no refrigeration for the ingredients (unless you add a protein) and the timing works out pretty well so that it can be made "serially" (i.e. you can prep the next set of veggies while the first set is cooking). When I do it at home I make it smaller and lay some cajun-salmon or some chicken with it, but in the field, it's hearty enough to stand alone.

Nice! Thanks Herbie. Exactly the type of recipe I'm after.
