How to Make Tex Mex Sloppy Joes
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound of ground beef and 2 tablespoons of chili powder. Brown the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, for 5-7 minutes, until no longer pink.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chiles (undrained), 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring to a simmer over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Serve the sloppy joe mixture on soft hamburger buns. Top with your favorite toppings, such as sweet pickles, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
