You probably didn't have Moo-Shu Joe on your food fusion bingo card, but hey, this is the full house of flavor. It's simple, really. Just mix up that sweet and juicy beef you know from a regular sloppy Joe, then add a little Asian-inspired flare for extra fun. Scooped onto a warm tortilla and topped with some fork-tender onions and peppers, Moo-Shu Joe is the metaphorical free space that keeps on giving!
Ingredients
- 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 fresh gingerroot, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 small sweet red pepper, sliced
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 cups coleslaw mix
- 8 flour tortillas, fajita-size, warmed
Directions
Step 1 -In a small bowl, add the cornstarch, the water, the barbecue sauce, the hoisin sauce, the soy sauce, the gingerroot, the garlic, and the salt and stir to combine.
Step 2 -In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add the onions, the red peppers, and the oil and sauté until they are crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3 -Transfer the onion-pepper mixture to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 4 -In the same skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the excess grease.
Step 5 -Stir the sauce mixture into the cooked beef and bring it to a boil. Cook, while stirring, until it has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6 -Add the coleslaw mix to the beef mixture and stir to coat.
Step 7 -Evenly spoon the beef mixture into the center of each of the tortillas and top with the onion-pepper mixture.
Step 8 -Serve.
