These fajitas are beyond yummy and quick to make while camping. Using a tin pie plate for this recipe provides a cooking surface that is just a bit more sturdy than a traditional tinfoil packet.

I could eat this entire recipe straight from the dish making this a low carb and keto friendly camping meal. The family loves wrapping this filling up in a warm flour tortilla!
