Ingredients
  

  • 15* medium-sized corn tortillas**
  • 200 g shredded*** vegan cheese of choice****
  • 2 ripe avocadoes
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 1 small can (~200g) of salsa of choice
  • 1 lime (optional)

Instructions
 

At Home

  • Nothing. Except if your salsa came in a glass jar or a large size, you might want to repackage that into something easier to carry.Make sure to pack a can opener!

At Camp

  • Slice up the avocadoes and quarter the lime if you brought one.
  • Smear some of the refried beans down the centre of one tortilla.
  • Add a few pieces of the avocado, sprinkle some shredded cheese, and top with salsa.
  • Add a squeeze of lime, fold the taco and enjoy!

Notes

  • *Each serving is approximately 3 tacos per person, with a little extra just in case.
  • **You can also use wheat tortilla, but then it wouldn’t be gluten-free.
  • ***Instead of shredded cheese, you can get a block and slice it up.
  • ****To keep it gluten-free and soy-free, we used Daiya cheese. But instead of cheese, you could also use vegan queso.
