Sloppy Jose (Mexican Style Sloppy Joes)

A Sloppy Jose is a Sloppy Joe with a Mexican flavored twist.  If you love tacos with all the fixings, then you will love these Sloppy Jose sandwiches. My kids love Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.  I am always trying to reinvent them to keep things fun and exciting for dinner.  I decided to introduce Sloppy Joe's cousin from across the border and make Sloppy Jose.  The Sloppy Jose was a fun Mexican twist for my kids.

I basically made a saucy taco filling and topped it off with lots of shredded cheese, sliced avocados, sour cream and onions.   I decided that since they are Sloppy Joes, I would nix the taco shells and tortillas and opt for a hearty hot dog style bun instead.  You can also put them in a hoagie roll or kaiser roll.

So if you are trying to give your standard Sloppy Joe a new look and taste, think south of the border and try Sloppy Jose. Ole! Recipe by Ramona Kitchen Simmer

2lb Lean ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey)
1 medium finely onion diced
1 jalapeno pepper finely diced

Brown beef well.  Then add onion and jalapeno and saute for another few minutes.  Next add ground spices (cumin, chili powder, taco seasoning, garlic, chili flakes, salt and black pepper).  Saute for a minute. Then add the tomato sauce, salsa and water.  Cook on medium low for 10-15 minutes.  Taste for salt and seasoning.  Finally add the lime juice for a fresh finish.
