Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 pieces flour or corn taco shells
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
While the filling simmers, warm the taco shells according to the package instructions (in the oven, microwave, or on a skillet).
Spoon the Sloppy Joe mixture into the warmed taco shells. Top each taco with shredded cheddar cheese, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these festive Sloppy Joe Confetti Tacos!
