Drinking Indian sassafras tea to heal your ailments was a philosophy used by Native Americans, pioneers, and is still believed to be true in this modern day. It could be called the Wonder Tree or the Magic Tree or the Medical Tree. As far back as records show the Native Americans and the pioneers used the inner bark of the Slippery Elm Tree for food to survive and for a medicine to heal..

Walking Tacos For A Campsite Party

Walking Tacos Are a Great Way to Meet and Greet Fellow Campers!

We have recently come across a simple and inexpensive way to socialize with fellow campers and neighbors…hosting a Walking Taco Party.  Walking Tacos are a tasty treat consisting of individual-sized (1 oz.) bags of Fritos Corn Chips, ground meat, and various toppings.

Recipe:
1-oz. bags of Fritos Corn Chips
Ground Beef and/or Ground Turkey; cooked and well-drained
Chopped Onions
Chopped Tomatoes
Chopped Peppers
Chopped Black Olives
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Salsa
Sour Cream
Taco Sauce


There are a couple of different ways in which to have a Walking Taco Party, depending upon the number of people participating.  One way is to simply furnish all of the ingredients yourself if there are just a few people.  Another way, which, to us, is actually more fun, is to have everyone bring an ingredient to share.  Write the name of an ingredient (such as chopped onions, diced tomatoes, etc.) on a folded piece of paper and have each campsite blindly pick a piece of paper out of a hat…preferably a sombrero.  That campsite is responsible for bringing that particular item to the Walking Taco Party.

Set-up is easy…simply arrange ingredients and toppings buffet-style on a picnic table in the order desired.  Guests form a line and fill their Fritos Corn Chips bag with the ingredients they prefer.  The combination of flavors and textures makes a very tasty treat.  Clean-up literally takes seconds, as the empty Fritos Corn Chips bags and plastic utensils are tossed into the nearest trash receptacle.

The “walking” part of Walking Tacos is the fact that this snack is easy enough to enjoy and eat even while walking.  You are free to roam around and easily visit with others.  Everyone seems to enjoy the visiting part as much as the eating part.  Hosting a Walking Taco Party is simple, inexpensive, and a great way to meet and greet fellow campers.
