I forgot a staple I take along. I freeze homemade New Mexico style tamales with chili. I thaw them out and steam them in a pan on the trail.

My easiest food while camping for a weekend was nuts, beef jerky and protein bars.
A staple for the past few years has been cheesesteaks on the griddle. Ribeye, provolone, mushrooms and onions. Delicious!

"Tacos in a bag" Personal size bag of Fritos or Nacho Doritos (crunched up!)
Add cooked ground beef, beans (Black or refried)
Shredded Lettuce, Diced Tomatoes, salsa, Sour cream directly into the bag.
Then eat with a fork or spoon. We do it every trip.

Two cans of chili without beans and a big bag of Fritos and a cold night on Pecos Baldy in beautiful New Mexico is just perfect and not a car for thirty miles!
I cook everything at I cook at home on a stovetop or grill on the trail.

This ^^^^ from my moutaineering days.
Rice, Diced Chicken, reheat it, add Cashews, stir and chow down.
We loved pasta night because we slept so warm, not so much on rice night. It took a couple of trips trips to figure it out.

We've been taking along a jar of indian curry, cook in the skillet rice, and boneless skinless chicken breast. Easy Indian food on the road.
