Grilled Sloppy Joe Burritos 

Sloppy Joes are always nice comfort food for dinner and are made by spicing and seasoning ground beef and then serving this over buns. It’s a messy dish to eat, hence the word “sloppy” but really good. The following recipe doesn’t serve the Sloppy Joes like that though.

Giving a south of the border touch to this American comfort food classic results in something boasting all the Sloppy Joes flavor you dream about but in a different format.
