I’m totally a sucker for a fun new Taco Tuesday recipe, and today I’ve got a really good one for you!
I combined two of my favorite childhood meals, tacos and sloppy joes, into one deliciously sloppy recipe, perfect for Taco Tuesday!
Whether you have kids at home, or you’re a kid at heart (me!) you’re going to love this recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup red onion (chopped)
- ½ cup red bell pepper (chopped)
- ½ cup green bell pepper (chopped)
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning (click link for recipe)
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 14 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 8 small tortillas
Optional Toppings
- Shredded lettuce
- Shredded cheese
- Chopped tomatoes
- Sour Cream
- Salsa
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and bell peppers, saute 5-7 minutes
Add the ground turkey and cook through.
Drain any grease from the skillet, then return to the stove and add the taco seasoning, hot sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes with green chilies and chicken broth.
Combine well, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Spoon the sloppy joe mix into tortillas, then top with the optional ingredients of your choice like shredded cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.
They’re sloppy, fun, delicious and made in only 30 minutes, can’t beat that for a weeknight meal!
After whipping these up last week, they made two delicious dinners for me and the boyfriend.
The first night we ate them in soft flour tortillas, the second night we ate them in crispy shells (per the boyfriends request!) I loved them both ways, but preferred them in the soft tortillas, and of course, he preferred the crispy, either way you can’t go wrong!
They can also be served in corn tortillas for a delicious gluten free dinner!
