Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 pound Chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers, diced
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
- 1.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 rolls Crusty sandwich rolls
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and chorizo. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced roasted red peppers. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, ground cumin, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar and honey for a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. Cook for another 2 minutes.
While the mixture simmers, lightly toast the sandwich rolls under a broiler or in a toaster oven until golden brown.
Spoon the Sloppy Joaquin mixture generously onto the toasted rolls.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired, and serve hot.
