Backcountry

Food dehydrators are great. I dry a lot of veggies (fresh or frozen), to build meals with. Cheap, light, and easy to get variety. Less salt than store-bought freeze dried.

Instant Miso with Instant Rice and or Tuna

Instant Mashed potatoes with almost anything

'Tortilla Soup' =
Chicken Boullion cube
couple packets of hot sauce (tapatio or cholula)
can or packet of chicken
instant rice
dried veggies
and some dried cheese sauce powder (like in Kraft Mac & Cheese)

Put above stuff in water, heat up to make soup. Fry up a corn tortilla and cut into strips.
Sounds complicated, but if assembled ahead of time, is a small and light package.

As far as the backcountry goes....

I'd say be sure to bring a fishing pole! Hard to beat fresh fish.

You're from Las Cruces? I hope you meant Javelina.....

BTW did a little research on cooking those, sounds like tamales better than burritos with things that get killed on roads (rodents), and the misspelled dish is an egg dish and good:

"I've done several rodents that your referring to.... Remember they are NOT a pig.... just a large rodent... pit barbeque works.... but the best is tamales or machucka (not sure on the spelling on that one)..... that's the only way they come out good enough to eat.... hope you cut the musk gland off the back and didn't get any on the meat.... course you'll know when you cook it...... I did hear of one other way of cooking it...... you stuff it full of horse sh*i*t. roast it for 6 hours... then scrap out all of the horse sh*i*t, throw the javelina away and eat the horse sh*i*t*... haven't tried that one yet...but may be worth thinking about....lol good luck, you can make some good tamales out of it...."
