Satisfy your taste buds and your soul with these delicious and easy-to-make Taco Sloppy Joes. Perfect for a busy weeknight meal!
So, I’ve been on this joes kick lately. Pizza joes, cheesesteak joes, you name it. If it’s made with ground meat, I’m trying to turn it into a joe sammy. That’s how these were created. Tacos. Ground meat, lettuce, cheese, onions. Bun? Why not??
Yes, they were messy. Yes, they were delicious. And you can bet we’re having these again! They whipped up in no time, were super tasty, and really did satisfy the taco joe hankering I was having when I first thought of these.
Don’t let the photos fool you. My natural light is dwindling due to this lovely thing called daylight savings. Honestly. What daylight is it saving? I’m not seeing it! It’s dark when I leave and dark when I get home. Where’s the daylight? Is it being saved in a bank? Another country? Another hemisphere? Where??
Cause, I’m not seeing it! Which means I have to take my props to work and photograph my lunch in that light. Cause I can see that light. It’s usually nicely diffused in the morning and perfect for a mini photo shoot before work.
Can ya tell I love cheese? It’s covered in it. Who doesn’t love cheese? Especially with tacos. That’s like oatmeal with cinnamon, roast beef without gravy. They just have to be together!
Yup. Today’s a short post. S and I are headed to the antiques show that Dad is set up for. I can’t wait to see what he’s got on his table this time!!
What would YOU turn into a sloppy joe?
