We’ve all heard of sloppy joes. Well, now there’s a new dish on the block. Instead of serving your favorite sloppy joes on a regular old hamburger bun, have some fun (and some crunch) with them by using Tostitos Baked! Scoops. If it’s easier, feel free to sub in any baked tortilla chips for the scoops. They obviously won’t look the same, but they’ll taste just as great. These joes can also be made with extra-lean ground turkey, but you’ll need to add extra sauce because turkey is drier than beef. Using turkey in this recipe will save you about 3 grams of fat, but keep in mind that the extra sauce will add 95 mg of sodium per tablespoon.

　　

Ingredients

makes 1 serving

　　4 ounces 96% lean ground beef

　　1/4 cup sloppy joe sauce (I used Manwich)

　　10 Tostitos Baked! Scoops

　　

Step 1

Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the beef. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, break the beef into bite-sized chunks, stirring as you do, until it is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat to low and add the sauce until it is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately with the scoops for dipping (or fill the scoops for a fun appetizer, though that will take an extra couple of minutes).
