There’s something special about making your meals in the great outdoors. Whether it’s the novelty of using an outdoor grill & improvising with ingredients, or enjoying the fruits of your labours surrounded by the wilderness and beneath the open sky - it is an incomparable experience. One of our favourite campfire snacks at the Springs are Campfire Nachos. They are easy to cook and prepare and make a great snack to enjoy around the campfire on a warm summer evening. We suggest stopping by one of our local food markets on your way to the Springs to make sure you have everything you need to make this tasty snack on your glamping getaway.

What you’ll need:

  • Cast iron pan ( Woods has a great selection and can be found at Canadian Tire stores nationwide)

  • Nacho chips

  • Shredded cheese

  • Beans of choice

  • Diced veggies (we recommend jalapeños, onions and bell peppers)

  • Fresh cilantro

  • Meat of your choice (barbecue chicken, grilled steak or ground beef are all great options!)

  • Salsa and guacamole

Instructions:

  1. Either heat up the grill or start stoking your fire to get the flames a blazin’.

  2. We suggest cooking the meat of your choice on the barbecue thoroughly prior to cooking your nachos.

  3. Lightly oil the cast iron skillet.

  4. Combine ingredients in your cast iron skillet. Start with a layer of nacho chips and add shredded cheese, veggies and cooked meat. Once the first layer is complete then repeat (we think all nachos should be 2-3 layers deep!).

  5. Cover with tinfoil (or a lid if you have one) and place on the grill or over a fire pit.

  6. Let cook on the grill or campfire for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and veggies are heated.

  7. Enjoy!
