The Sloppy Taco

Like a lot of people, my dad is a particularly picky eater. It's pretty safe to say that anything straying too far from "meat and potatoes" generally doesn't jive with this turkey. So one day, when I asked my dad what he wanted for dinner and he replied with "Sloppy Tacos", I felt scared, excited, and confused as to how HE, of all people, came to know about this Frankenstein meal. 

There comes a point in every person's life where the usual just isn't satisfying anymore. In my aunt's case, it was during Sloppy Joe night. The story goes that she was armed with tortillas, cheese, and sour cream, although an actual lack of hamburger buns remains uncertain. All we know is that she got my dad to eat one, who in turn showed me the ways of the Sloppy Taco. Life was never the same.

The Sloppy Taco

• Sloppy Joe mix (canned or made from scratch)
• 1lb of Ground Beef, browned
• Corn/Flour Tortillas (we use soft shell)
• Shredded Cheese (experiment with your faves or use Mexican-style)
• Sour Cream
• Lettuce
• Side of Mexican-style rice, cooked as per instructions

Add your ground beef to the Sloppy Joe mixture of your choice. Toast your tortilla either over an open flame (we literally placed them on top of the burners, set on low, for 3-4 seconds on each side), with an oven, or in a pan. Add meat mixture, fixings, and serve with a side of rice (or put it in the taco). 

This next step is important:

You must say "lawlawlawl" as you watch everyone attempt to eat this without it getting everywhere. 

EVERYWHERE. 

Enjoy.
