Sloppy José's

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 lb chorizo (or 2 7oz tubes)
• 1 red onion, large, finely diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 2 Poblano peppers
• 2 jalapeno's, 1 for cooking, 1 for topping, finely diced
• 1 14 oz can crushed Tomatoes
• 1 small can tomato sauce
• 2 tbs brown sugar
• Hot sauce
• 1 White onion, sliced for a topping
• Hamburger buns

Directions:

• Place poblano peppers over an open flame on the stove, turning periodically until burned all around. Rince under cold water to remove the burned skin. Dice and set aside.
• Add diced red onion and 1/2 of the diced jalapeno's to the poblano's.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and well-browned, about 10 minutes. Add the beef and chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a potato masher or whisk. Continue cook until meat is cooked through, abut 5 minutes.
• Toast buns under the broiler.
• Drain excess fat and return pan to heat. Add sugar, crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce and cook, stirring, until reduced to a sauce-like texture. Stir in hot sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon mixture into toasted burger buns, top with sliced jalapeno and onion to serve.
