MEN'S HEALTH SOUTHWEST SLOPPY JOES



Men's Health Southwest Sloppy Joes image

This is from Men's Health Magazine, where the recipe is titled Asian Sloppy Joes. Because of the ingredients, I think of these as being more 'Southwest'. We tried them today for the first time and they were delicious! I modified the ingredients only to suit what was available to me. I think this would also be good on tortillas.
