Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes 

I'll bet you've never eaten a Tex-Mex Sloppy Joe before?  Me either.
It's pretty good!

The kids didn't know what to think of this sandwich at first.  After I made them, I mean, I asked them to try it, they were pleasantly surprised.  My picky eater wasn't crazy about the tomatoes, but I knew that would happen.  The slice of Monterey Jack cheese really makes it for the kiddos.

HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

• 1/2 pound extra lean ground beef
• 2 to 3 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1/2 teaspoon mild chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, I used canned
• 1/2 cup cooked black beans
• Monterey Jack cheese slices
• whole wheat buns or bread, toasted

Over medium heat, cook beef and onions until the meat is cooked through.  Add chili powder, cumin and tomatoes, then simmer covered for 10 minutes.  Stir occasionally.  Add in black beans and warm thorough.

Toast your buns *snicker* and fill with meat filling, top with a cheese slice.
You're ready to eat!

This made a great hot lunch with a healthy side salad.
