  2. We have made it with salmon using the option of sour cream, cabbage etc. and it is fantastic! I didn't think it was going to be good at first, but I was won over by the wonderful combination of mediterranean flavors. Give it a try.

    1. You might try cooking the fillets in foil over the fire/campout cooker. I would just squeeze a little lemon juice and sprinkle some seasoning on top right before you close up the foil and the fish will flake apart once it's done, just stick the flakes into the tortillas. The sour cream mixture can be made ahead of time and kept in the cooler until needed. I've never tried cooking this outdoors before so this is just off the top of my head. I hope this helps some! Maybe heat up a can of refried beans on the side and have some sprinkle cheese available for the kids that don't like fish?
