When working a training session with the Boy Scouts, we often served
this.......We called it Taco in a Bag.

1 bag of Fritos
1/3 of a can of chili without beans (one can serves three)
chopped tomato
chopped lettuce
shredded cheddar
sour cream
taco sauce.

The kids smooshed the bags, opened them, added the chili then put what
condiments they wanted in it. Used a disposable fork, when done, they
wrapped the bag around the fork and hiked it back to the campsite (this was
to be a portable meal while doing a scavenger hunt thru the woods). If they
did it in camp before starting the hunt, they could open the can, place it
in a simmering pot of water about a third of way up the can and there was no
clean up either....when the can was empty, just recycle. Boy Scouts love
anything where clean up is non-existent.
