This simple campfire hot dog wrap is a great lunch and hand food that can easily be cooked by kids learning outdoor cooking. It uses familiar ingredients that are often on-hand, so kids will be used to the flavors. It is a fun and hands-on recipe the kids will enjoy making with you.
It is almost not worth calling this a recipe as it is so simple. These instructions include mustard and ketchup but you can pick the sauces based on what you like. You can even use your favorite barbecue sauce or chili sauce.
The trick to cooking these hot do wraps to perfection is a good bed of coals and some patience. If you use flames or cook in a spot too hot, the tortilla will burn without heating up the inside of the hotdog. Always make sure you supervise young campers around the fire.
