Dirty Gourmet is a camp recipe and cookbook partnership of three friends, Mai-Yan Kwan, Emily Nielson, and Aimee Trudeau. Their dishes are uncomplicated, outdoor-friendly versions of their favorite recipes from home. These carry you through a full day in camp: hearty, warming, and satisfying from breakfast to dinner.

Chilaquiles

I make these chilaquiles, a popular Mexican breakfast dish, on special mornings at home. I’ve experimented making them many different ways and love to survey my friends about their favorite methods. The simplest is my favorite, and it’s definitely the easiest to prep on a morning at camp.

Five ingredients, one skillet, and a few minutes are all you need. You don’t even need plates. I love queso fresco here, but if you can’t find it, use shredded sharp cheddar in its place. —Emily
