Lunch Recipes (Most Popular)

Keto friendly pizza

KETO - great for lunch, supper or even a snack.

Dense, Hearty Bread made nearly entirely of seeds and nuts

The potato will absorb less oil if the oil is very hot and stays hot.

I weighed the oil before and after frying. I started with 33 grams of oil and 10 grams were left in the pan after I was done.

Mountain House, pasta and corn chips

I usually eat this cold for lunch.

Tuna on a tortilla... not much more to say.

Below is good video showing how to make "fried" rice with no oil. Very low fat/oil recipes dehydrate best.
I use the video guy's fat free "frying" technique, except that I add soy sauce, etc, and don't use eggs. I also use brown rice. You can use homemade rice, but I prefer the way Minute Rice rehydrates.

Make in a food processor

A favorite lunch.

Santa Fe refried beans are already dehydrated and available in some grocery stores or on Amazon. I have dehydrated canned refried beans and like Santa Fe brand better.

The True Lime really adds a lot of flavor! Reminds me of Chipotle Restaurant tortilla chips.

Cheese on a tortilla... That's about it.

Cheese will last a shocking long time without refrigeration. I have taken cheese out for 8 days. Use either cheese slices or tubes of string cheese. Fake American, Velveeta-like "cheese-food" lasts forever.

White flour tortillas last longer than whole wheat or ciabatta rolls. Whole wheat tortillas and rolls (both white and whole wheat) tend to go moldy after 2-3 days. White flour tortillas stay "fresh" for 8-10 days.

Sandwich bread works fine, if space is not an issue. Soft taco sized tortillas work great in a bear can.

This is an unhealthy (but so delicious!!!) lunch which should, obviously, only be eaten while hiking! At least it is Spam Lite. Can you say "health halo"!?!?

Spicy mustard makes this much classier!

A favorite backpacking meal. It is good either hot or cold and works great if you go stove-less.

Pesto stays good unrefrigerated for several days under "normal" (California mountain) backpacking conditions. I don't know how it does in the desert or in very humid conditions.

See directions below for better ingredients list.

I can't eat as much meat as the original recipe calls for. I bought a polish dog at Costco's snack bar and used that (minus the bun!). I also added more vegs than the original recipe.

I make my own sauerkraut.
