Enchilada sloppy Joes is a twist on this classic American comfort food. Ground beef is steeped in enchilada sauce and green chiles and cooked for 6 hours in the slow cooker. When it is ready to serve, the mixture is poured into a soft hamburger bun and topped with Mexican shredded cheese and fresh cilantro. I like to add a few slices of avocado to my sandwiches for an extra subtle layer of flavor and texture.
