In my search for easy dinners I came across a recipe that was a cross between a sloppy Joe and a taco!  I had to give it a try this easy recipe was pretty darn good and I have to tell you your kids are going to love this!! When I was telling Mr. Pinkcakeplate what we were having for dinner I told him its not a Sloppy Joe and not a Taco!  He quickly responded it’s a Sloppy Jose!!  So that is how this dish found its name!!!

Not a Sloppy Joe, not a Taco! It’s a Sloppy Jose!! With Cilantro lime sour cream!

    It’s so interesting that I should finf your recipe. I’ve been thinking about doing something like this with a vegetarian beef substitute called Gimme Lean (by Light Life) or perhaps with Morningstar Farm’s vegetarian crumbles. If I try it, I’ll let you know!
    Sounds like a good recipe1
