I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Chorizo Sloppy Joes

Chorizo Sloppy Joes

Chorizo Sloppy Joes

Whoever said sloppy joes had to be boring clearly never met José. Spicy Mexican chorizo crashes right into gooey melted cheese. The result? A messy, meaty, cheesy little joe that tastes like a party on a plate. Bonus: this and the potato wedges feed four people for under 15 bucks.
