We have now made it twice. ♥️♥️
Such a delicious take on sloppy joes!
So delicious! I used organic ground chicken, ketchup and omitted the brown sugar and used Dijon mustard. Topped with cilantro and avocado served on corn tortillas!
I was surprised how good this was! Everyone loved them. I used ground turkey, chicken stock, canned tomato sauce and I did use the brown sugar…wouldn’t change a thing! I topped with tomato, avocado, jalepeno, cilantro, red onion and shredded lettuce for crunch (didn’t have cabbage on hand). I used both corn and flour tortillas, both were good. Excellent.
This recipe is amazing! Easy to make andso good!
