Sloppy Joe Tacos, aka Sloppy Jose Tacos – Happy National Taco Day!
Today is National Taco Day – and we at Everyday Southwest are celebrating by combining one of America’s favorite classic comfort foods – Sloppy Joes – with perhaps the most beloved Mexican dish of all time – The Taco. Did you know that in 2012 Americans ate 4.5 BILLION tacos? Holy Guacamole!
One of my favorite food memories is an old school taco – made Sonora style. I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, eating bean burros and tacos – not so much PB&Js like many American kids. (WARNING – UPCOMING RANT: They are called BURROS, people. A burrito is a small burro. Never, ever use the term “Grande Burrito,” because that translates as “small large burro.” RANT CONCLUDED.)
Back to finish my thought: Old School tacos, Sonora style, are made by placing seasoned raw ground beef in a corn tortilla and then frying the whole thing together. Odd, you may say. True that, but so yummy and comforting. Just like Sloppy Joe Tacos. Old School wins again!

Cook jalapenos and onion in a large skillet over medium high heat in oil until softened, about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add in ground beef and cook until browned, breaking into small bits.
Add remaining ingredients and reduce to a simmer. Cook until most of liquid has evaporated.
Serve on corn tortillas and top with garnishes as desired. I used cilantro, diced radishes and queso fresco.
