In reply to Nicole. You have to purchase the boil in the bag kind, but it's doable.

In reply to Kerstin. You can add water to your ziplock bag?

In reply to Kerstin. Er, that 0.06 cups of dried cabbage should be 1 tbsp :P I copy-pasted this from my MyFitnessPal recipe cards, blame them!

I make a variation of this where it’s closer to enchilada soup than tortilla; but it’s still vegan! It’s also good making at home with fresh ingredients too.

Enchilada/Tortilla Soup
(Two 433 calorie servings, not including the tortillas)
1 Cup Dry, Instant Brown Rice (Uncooked)
1 Tbsp, Dehydrated Tomato Powder
1 cup dehydrated beans (black, pinto, kidney, whatever)
1 cube (4g), Vegetable Bouillon Cube
1 tablespoon, Oil – Olive
0.25 Cup, Tvp (Textured Vegetable Protein)
1 cup, Red Enchilada Sauce (dehydrated, so about a tbsp)
1 Tbs (4g), Peppers, Bell (Red/Green) – Dehydrated
0.06 cup (20g), Cabbage – Dehydrated
1 tbsp(s), Freeze Dried Corn
1 tsp each of: chili pwd, garlic pwd, onion flakes.
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
—Pack the above in a ziploc.
1 packet lime crystals
4 tortillas or a baggie of crushed chips.

On the trail, bring 3-4 cups of water to boil, pour in the ziploc, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes. Stir and enjoy with tortilla (chips) and lime crystals. (:

@Jennifer, this is a wonderful adaptation! You could easily add canned or foil-pouch chicken to this recipe while backpacking, without having to worry much about perishability.

Made this at home as a test and added grilled chicken. Obviously not vegan one vegetarian anymore, but was excellent. Could work for first night in the trail, especially if using the lime and avocado, which we did and which were delicious!
