For this recipe we used 6 small tortillas and browned the ground beef at home to cut down on cooking time and clean up. We are also thinking that next time we will mix the precooked grounded beef, tomato puree and taco sauce for a more even mixture.
Mountain Dew Chicken
Ingredients:
1/2 lb Bacon 1 c Flour 5 Chicken Breasts 10 Carrots 1 lg Onion 5 Potatoes 12oz can Mountain Dew 1/2 c Shredded Cheddar Cheese |

Chop bacon into 1" pieces. Dice vegetables. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Fry bacon in dutch oven until crispy. Remove bacon from dutch oven but leave grease. Shake chicken breasts in 1 gallon zipper bag that has the cup of flour to coat. Cook in bacon grease to brown, about 5 minutes, turning a couple times. Pour vegetables, bacon, and Mountain Dew on top of chicken. Cover with lid and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes with 3/4 of coals on lid. Using tongs or fork, lift chicken breasts so they are resting on top of vegetables. Sprinkle cheese over the chicken. Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Start your cooking on the stove. Put the Dutch oven on the stove and start cooking the bacon while your coals are getting ready. Continue with browning the chicken and adding the remaining ingredients until the coals are ready and place over the coals.
We put in extra potatoes, a second can of Mountain Dew (we used Mountain Dew Throwback) and extra chicken. In hindsight we should have also increased the amount of bacon, onion and possibly cheese as the extra potatoes took away some of the flavor. That being said we had no left overs.
