I created this dish one year for several friends and myself when we decided to camp out one late fall weekend. It is still a favorite. Although I have tried the same thing at home, it just doesn't taste the same as that smoky flavor when it comes straight from a campfire. Enjoy this light but filling meal.
Peel and chop potatoes, apples and onions. Mix together. Spread on tortilla and add a layer of cheese. Roll up and roll in foil. Bury under hot coals for about 1 hour. Remove from coals and enjoy!
