Mexican Sloppy Joes

Friday, May 15, 2020
An easy to make weeknight favorite that's kid friendly. Mexican Sloppy Joes will quickly become a favorite.

A hamburger bun on a white plate topped with Mexican Sloppy Joe filling, pico de gallo, and avocado.

 I have a little soft spot for Sloppy Joes. Alright, you caught me and Mexican food too!

These are amazing with taco seasoned ground beef mixed with black beans topped on a toasted bun with my famous Pico De Gallo and avocado.

Need I say more?

I really couldn't decide whether to call these Mexican Sloppy Joes or Tex/Mex Sloppy Joes so I just went with the first.

These are quick, cheap, easy and well sloppy.

I love quick dinner ideas the kids devour and are healthy too.

Here's how to make the Mexican Sloppy Joes recipe:
Cooked ground beef in a cast iron skillet with a stainless steel spatula in the center.

To a heavy duty frying pan with a lid add:
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1/2 whole Diced Large Onion
  • 1 1/2 Pounds Ground Beef
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Cook over medium-high heat until meat is brown.

Cook ground beef, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, black beans, oatmeal and water in a cast iron skillet.

Stir in:
  • 14.5 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 15 ounces Drained Canned Black Beans 
  • 2 tablespoons Quick Oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup Water 
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Bring to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until mixture has thickened.

A big stainless steel bowl of Pico De Gallo with a tortilla chip held close to the camera loaded with pico de gallo.

Mean while make some Pico De Gallo and enjoy a few bites while the mixture finishes cooking. (This is even better when made ahead of time.)

Top toasted Hamburger Buns with hamburger/black bean mixture and top with Pico De Gallo, cheese and sliced avocado. Even a little sour cream or greek yogurt would be amazing.

Enjoy and don't worry about the mess, that's the fun of Sloppy Joes!

  2. Neat recipe Serena, now we don't have to be dependent on on always buying those little cans of sauce. I like being able to make things like this from scratch.
