No, MIke, have never taken any kind of fajitas, tacos, carnitas etc. into canoe country.  This past year took a ground beef wrap entree from Packit Gourmet that was supposed to have tortillas, but I bought corn tortillas from Zup's and they were god-awful.  They were the most crumbly things we ever saw--even on the second day of the trip!  (I was trying not to use the flour tortillas because they have more calories/carbs and more sodium.)

I liked the beef stuff a lot, Spartan1 thought it was a bit too spicy.  We'll have it again, though, but I'll take flour tortillas.

We don't take fresh meats and fresh foods.  Our evening meals are all freeze dried except for the first night.  I am not into fussing much about the food up there.  I figure we eat pretty good 50 weeks out of the year, and there are just other things (like photography) that I want to concentrate on in the canoe country.  We do take fresh eggs and have good breakfasts, though.

Thanks Lynda.  Good points about food.  I guess I'm getting kinda wrapped up (pardon the pun) in trying fajitas or carnitas!

And Old_Salt, with a recommendation like yours, Snow_Dog's fajitas are now on my menu list!  (Now I'll just have to practice making them.)

Per the PM

In case I was not real clear earlier, we didnt freeze the flour tortillas, just the meat/peppers/onions etc that we prepared at home. The one problem with the tortilla is they tend to get stuck together, and it only gets worse the longer they are in your pack.

Perhaps wax paper is the answer?

The tortillas seem to last pretty long, but they tend to stick together especially after being compressed in the pack.

I really like FISH tacos!
