SLOPPY JOSE WITH CHORIZO, CHARRED POBLANOS AND AVOCADO CREMA

Steps:

• For the avocado crema: Place the cilantro, sour cream, avocado, lime zest and juice in a food processor and run until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and reserve, covered with plastic wrap pressed directly on top to keep from browning.
• For the filling: Preheat a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet over high heat, and then add in the oil. Add the poblano peppers, season with cumin, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Saute until the peppers are slightly soft and blistered, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the chorizo and cook over medium heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook the chorizo until well browned and cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. If your chorizo has extra fat you can drain it on a paper-towel-lined plate to remove excess fat and then add the chorizo back to the pan along with the salsa. If your chorizo doesn't have that much fat, just add in your salsa and keep the party going. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• For the sandwich build: Slice, butter and toast each of the rolls until golden brown and crusty.
• Sprinkle some cheese on the bottom bun, and then a hefty spoonful of the hot chorizo. On top of the chorizo place some poblanos. Smear the top bun with lots of avocado crema and serve 'em up.

TACO SLOPPY JOES

Steps:

• Brown ground, chopped onion, and garlic in a large skillet over medium high heat. Drain grease and add the taco seasoning and salsa.
• Reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 5 more minutes until mixture has thickened and is heated through. Add up to 1/2 cup of water to achieve desired consistency. Serve over hamburgers buns and add desired toppings such as shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado, guacamole, or sour cream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook beef in large skillet over medium-high heat 7 minutes or until crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally; drain. Stir in Sloppy Joe sauce and cumin; simmer 5 minutes.

SLOPPY JOE OVEN BAKED TACOS

Steps:

• Warm oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, onion, and bell pepper; breaking up the meat into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes until beef is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Drain off grease.
• Stir in tomato paste until thoroughly combined.
• Add in ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire, mustard, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
• Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until mixture has thickened.
• In the meantime, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. (I'm able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side.)
• Bake the taco shells for 5 minutes by themselves to allow them to crisp up. Remove from the oven.
• Sprinkle a little cheese into the bottom of each taco shell (this helps create a barrier between the wet meat and shell, to keep them crispy.) Top with the sloppy Joe mixture.
• Sprinkle each shell generously with the remaining shredded cheese.
• Bake for about 5 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned.
• Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items.
• Eat right away and enjoy!
