Cajun Sloppy Joe Burritos

Does this sound familiar?  I’m driving home from work and start to think about what to fix for dinner.  Near panic ensues; but then I remember that I browned some ground beef last night. All I have to do is add a sauce and can make Sloppy Joes. Whoohoo!  Dinner Solved!

However, then I arrive home and I don’t have hamburger buns, but I do have tortillas. No problem. Slight change in plans. Instead of sloppy joes, we will have Sloppy Joe Burritos.  Our favorite sloppy joe recipe is a cross between Cajun and Mexican.  I adapted this sloppy joe recipe from the wildly popular Cajun Sloppy Joe recipe From Valerie’s Kitchen. With just a few substitutions, I made it to our preference and gave it a Tex-Mex twist.  Instead of tomato sauce, I substituted salsa and instead of ketchup I used a spicy tomato-based chili sauce.  It is super easy and great for a quick weeknight dinner. Enjoy it with my It’s Greek To Me Broccoli slaw recipe that will be in my next post!
