From Real Simple Magazine, this shortcut version of Chicken Quesadilla Pie can easily be made at your campsite. Prepare the ingredients at home, assemble in your dutch oven and bake until heated through and the cheese has melted. You could even eliminate the cream and pour the sauce directly from the can. If you're a vegetarian substitute the chicken with corn or black beans. In my 10 inch oven I baked the pie with 8 coals in a ring around the bottom and 18 on top. It was bubbling away and melted all the way through in 30 minutes. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing into wedges so the tortillas can absorb the sauce. Topped off with creamy avocado and fresh cilantro, indoors or out, it's easy and filling.
