i just ran a good sized cub scout camping trip with 47 people. for dinner, we had tinfoil packet cooking and we had about 1/3lb of meat per person + 5lbs of hot dogs plus a lot of potatoes, carrots, bell peppers and onions. this was not enough. nothing came home. so, i doubt 1/4lb will be enough. i'd bump that up to at least 1/3lb and maybe even closer to 1/2lb. don't forget, the meat is going to shrink as you cook it.
we just made tacos at home. 1 good sized tomato was plenty for my family of 5 with leftovers. maybe figure 1 tomato per 7 people. if you shred up lettuce, i'm betting 2 heads will be plenty. people don't put a lot of tomatoes and lettuce on tacos. get a big bag of pre-shredded cheese too.
we make breakfast burritos for our camp breakfast, but we premake them. we made 50 burritos using 10" wraps at home. then, on that morning we get a fire going and put the foil wrapped wraps on campfire grills over the coals. i used 10 quarts of pre-scrambled eggs, about 45 slices of cheese and 30 sausage patties. they are a huge hit every time and make breakfast so much easier since all of the heavy lifting is done at home. we made about 20 sausage, egg and cheese, 20 egg and cheese and 10 just egg. next time, i would make 30 sausage/egg/cheese, 20 egg/cheese and maybe 3 just egg.
i HIGHLY recommend checking your area for a restaurant supply place. the one by me, Restaurant Depot, only serves restaurant and food businesses, but also allows for non-profits to use it as well. their prices are much better than Costco for bulk items, but be realistic about what you need in bulk. i've got about 7lbs of sausage patties and a huge pack of american cheese sitting in my fridge now. i think i can keep the sausage in the freezer until our next trip, but it was total overkill.
Here's a simple folding grill.
Lodge and Camp Chef have tripods for Dutch ovens or grills that can hold skillets or food over your fire pit.
