The other night I was seriously craving tacos and when I looked in the pantry we didn’t have any tortillas or any taco shells. I always think back to the days when I used to go to Taco Bueno, when they had the yummiest Taco sandwiches. I looked to see if we had any buns, which we did. I was in business! My family was totally making fun of me, but once they tried it there mouths were too stuffed to say anything.
Servings: 4-6
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef
Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup of chopped onion
1 tbs. minced garlic
Optional toppings:
shredded cheese
tomatoes
lettuce
jalapenos
taco sauce
sour cream
Directions:
1. Brown 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef with onion adding in Taco Seasoning. See this for specific directions on making the best taco meat. Make sure meat is crumbled up, getting rid of any big chunks of meat. I use my food processor with short 2 pulses.
2. Mound meat on top of bottom bun and add desired taco toppings. I have to eat it with a fork because it’s usually way to messy to eat like a sandwich.

Sounds yummy! Have you ever made homemade tortillas though? Super easy and tasty!
Yum! I love tacos and I love sloppy joes! Great idea to mix the two together!
Super smart!!! You can never go wrong with mexican. And maybe you can never go wrong with mexican on a bun too!!!
What a genius idea! And we have Taco Tuesdays every week so this would be a fun spin on the traditional taco.
You can never have too much tacos! When I’m in a pinch I use a soft tortilla, we always seem to have those on hand. Never thought to turn it into a joe! Fun
Taco sandwiches is such an inventive idea, especially in a pinch. So creative, the picture didn’t show up for me though. I hope it’s working!
Thanks Mary. As far as I can see, the pic is working. I’m sorry it didn’t work for you.
