Mexican Sloppy Joes

Mexican Sloppy Joes make for a quick and easy weeknight dinner idea. This Tex Mex version of Sloppy Joes combines a juicy hybrid Taco Sloppy Joe filling in a bun topped with your favorite taco toppings like Pico De Gallo, Avocado, Cheese, Lettuce and anything else your heart desires.

Other Sloppy Joe recipes we just can't get enough of include Italian Sloppy Joes, traditional Homemade Sloppy Joes, and Asian Sloppy Joes.

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:

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.

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.

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 or diced 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!
