Backpackers Pantry - Fiesta Beef & Veg Bowl

When you're a few days deep on a canoe route and craving something with real substance, this Tex-Mex rice bowl delivers the kind of satisfying meal that actually feels worth sitting down for.

Backpacker's Pantry packed a full lineup of Tex-Mex staples into this one-pot backcountry meal. Beef, pinto beans, rice, cheddar cheese, corn, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream all rehydrate together in the pouch, giving you a meal with genuine depth and variety. With 31 grams of protein and 520 calories per serving, it's got the fuel you need after a long day on the water or trail.

The flavour here leans into Hatch green chiles and chipotle for a smoky, spicy kick, rounded out with cilantro, lime, and cumin. It's versatile too. Eat it straight from the bag, roll it into a tortilla, or scoop it with chips if you've got them. Gluten-free and with a 10-year shelf life, it's a smart addition to any paddling or camping kit, whether you're stocking up for a trip next weekend or building out a long-term emergency pantry.
