Moo Shu Sloppy Joes


This is my new favorite meal. Hands down. LOVED THIS. Healthy, tasty, cheap...the trifecta of yumm. Try it. You'll love it.


Moo Shu Sloppy Joes


2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced fresh gingerroot
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, sliced
1 small sweet red pepper, sliced
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
3 cups coleslaw mix
8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed


In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, water, barbecue sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and salt until blended; set aside.
In a large skillet, saute onion and red pepper in oil until crisp-tender; remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook beef over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Add coleslaw mix; stir to coat. Spoon meat mixture into the center of each tortilla; top with onion mixture. Roll up tightly. Yield: 4 servings.

*NOTE: I used ground turkey in this recipe.
