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.

  • 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.
