Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional, for serving)
- 1 piece sliced avocado (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef or ground turkey. Cook until fully browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the black beans, salsa, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, or any other toppings of your choice. Place the top half of the bun over the filling and serve warm.
Enjoy your delicious Black Bean Salsa Sloppy Joes with a side of chips, a salad, or fresh veggies!
