Mexican Fiesta

Mexican Fiesta

Ingredients:
1 pkg. Knorr Vegetable Soup
Freeze-dried Refried Beans
Corn Tortillas
1 pkg. Lipton Spanish Rice Mix
1/2 can Marie Calendar's Corn Bread Mix
1/4 cup sugar
Crystal-Lite Drink Mix
1/4 lb. cheddar cheese
Several packages of taco sauce from a fast-food restaurant or dried red pepper flakes
Dried onion flakes or several green onions
Optional: For a weekend hike, bring along some frozen hamburger, crumble and fry for
burritos or tacos. On a long-term trek, if you can catch some fish, add cooked fish to make
fish tacos.
Fix soup according to package directions; add "some" red pepper flakes to spice up the
soup and give it a Mexican flavor. Fix some freeze-dried refried beans according to
package directions (get these at Smart and Final). Heat tortillas one at a time in the bottom
of a frying pan over high heat. Cut up the cheese into very small chunks so it looks grated.
On a long-term trek, add the onion flakes and some more red pepper flakes to the beans,
put some beans and cheese into a tortilla and eat. On a weekend, cut up the green onions;
put beans, cheese, and onions into tortilla, add taco sauce, and eat. For sweet corn cake,
make the corn bread according to directions, adding the sugar before baking. Pour the
batter into a Silverstone frying pan, cover with another upside-down frying pan, and put
over low heat for 10 minutes. Hold both pans together, flip, and cook other side for 10
minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into cake; if done, the fork comes out
clean; if not, cook a little longer.
