Sloppy Joes (Mexican Style) image

This is a favorite at my house. Hispanic people call it "Picadillo". Usually eaten with flour tortillas, I have added the cheese sauce and sour cream. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:

  • I usually heat them on a gas burner set to low, turning them quite often.
  • Brown crusty spots are quite welcome!
  • Swipe garlic butter across center of warmed tortilla.
  • Add single portion of meat mixture and fold in half like a taco.
  • Add warm cheese sauce over meat and a couple of small dallops of sour cream.
