This looks like something to try:

Ingredients
I assemble my recipes by weight instead of conventional cooking measurements like tablespoons. This allows me to easily scale the recipe for larger groups.

Per meal per person you will need:

• Instant beans: 2.0 ounces
• Instant rice: 1.5 ounces
• Extra sharp cheddar cheese: 1.0 ounce
• Fritos (original): 1.0 ounce
• Taco seasoning: 0.2 ounces

On all of my trips, I also bring a spice kit consisting of salt, pepper mix (black pepper, chili pepper, paprika), and red hot pepper flakes. I keep them in one-ounce plastic storage bottles.


Cooking instructions for perfect consistency:

• Add 12 ounces of water to the pot.
• After—or shortly before—the water is boiling, add the beans, rice, seasoning, and spices.
• Simmer for 60 seconds, stirring to avoid boil-over.
• Cut cheese into dice-sized pieces and add to meal.
• Add Fritos just before consumption. If added too early, they will soften.

Personally, I recommend using more than 12 ounces of water. It makes the meal soupy, but it’s easier to cook—you can add the beans/rice mixture at the start, and there’s much less risk of burning the meal. Plus, the extra broth is nice in colder conditions.
