SLOPPY JOES (MEXICAN STYLE)
This is a favorite at my house. Hispanic people call it "Picadillo". Usually eaten with flour tortillas, I have added the cheese sauce and sour cream. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use a lean ground beef, such as 80/20 or 90/10. You can also use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
- Brown the ground beef properly: Cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it is browned all the way through. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
- Don't skimp on the taco seasoning: Taco seasoning is what gives Mexican sloppy joes their characteristic flavor. Use a generous amount of seasoning to ensure that the sloppy joes are flavorful.
- Use a variety of toppings: Mexican sloppy joes can be topped with a variety of ingredients, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Mexican sloppy joes can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, tortillas, or chips. Choose sides that you enjoy and that will complement the flavors of the sloppy joes.
Conclusion:
Mexican sloppy joes are a simple and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a fun and festive party dish, Mexican sloppy joes are sure to please.
