Camp cooking tip: Use pre-cooked meats so you just have to reheat them when you are camping. Chicken, for example, is easy if you use rotisserie chicken from your grocer’s deli counter. It’s also great to use meats that you cooked at home in a crockpot or on the grill. I like to cook a couple of extra chicken breasts when we are grilling chicken for dinner at home. Once the extra pieces are cooled, I freeze them so they are ready for a quick meal on our next camping adventure. All I have to do is thaw them and reinvent them into the dish of the day.

Beer makes a good flavorful liquid
Because you are using pre-cooked chicken, it may be a little dry. If that is the case, just add a little liquid to the pan to provide some moisture. I like to use beer but you can use anything that has a good flavor profile for the dish… Just plain water works here too. On a side note, did you know the history of beer?
If you are using beer to moisten pre-cooked chicken for this Camping Set-Up Day Fast And Easy Chicken Quesadillas Recipe, you may want to get a little more info on your suds. The Beer Bible is a best selling drinker-friendly guide to all the world’s beers. It is divided into four major types—ales, lagers, wheat beers, and tart and wild ales!

Toast the tortillas
- 2 large tortillas
- ½ c shredded cheddar cheese
While the chicken mixture is heating in one pan, get your second pan going. Use a dry pan (you want to toast the tortilla to a nice and crunchy consistency) and once the pan is heated, place one tortilla in the bottom of it.
Cover the tortilla with the shredded cheese and the heated chicken mixture. Now it’s time to add the second tortilla; just place it on the top of the stack (sort of like a lid.) While your tortilla is toasting, chop your cilantro and peppers for topping.
If you are unsure about the type of pepper you want to top this Camping Set-Up Day Fast And Easy Chicken Quesadillas Recipe with, you can get loads of information and fun facts in The Field Guide to Peppers book which profiles 400 types of peppers, where they come from and how hot they are!

Know when to flip it. Add your favorite toppings. Serve.
When the bottom tortilla is crisp and slightly brown, it’s time to flip it. Flipping this might be a bit of a challenge so watch the video to make sure you are prepared for this amazing feat! This is the hard part! Just kidding, it’s not really hard. Slide the quesadilla out of the pan and slice for serving.
- Fresh cilantro – chopped (this is a must in our family, we like a lot so we use a whole bunch)
- Dollop of sour cream (optional)
- Side of salsa (optional)
- Slice up your favorite peppers (optional—this part is for the heat-freaks in your crowd)
