Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to fully combine.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the soft taco shells in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave them for 15-20 seconds until pliable.
Step 6
To assemble the tacos, spoon a generous portion of the sloppy beef mixture into each taco shell.
Step 7
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and optional chopped cilantro for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciously messy Jose's Sloppy Tacos with your favorite sides!
