- ¼ cup Green Bell Peppers, chopped
- 1 tablespoon each Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt
- ½ tablespoon Dry Mustard

For the Sloppy Joe Sauce:
- ½ cup Ketchup
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- ½ tablespoon each Salt, Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Salt
Other:
- 4-6 Large Flour Tortillas (can substitute with wheat tortillas for a healthier option)

Instructions
Prepare the Beef:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and dry mustard. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Cook the Beef:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Add Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Once done, remove from heat, but keep the mixture warm.
Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce:
- In a separate bowl, combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic salt. Stir well until fully mixed.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to ensure everything is evenly coated. Keep warm.
Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the beef and vegetable mixture into the center of each tortilla.
- Drizzle with cheese sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Fold and Cook the Burritos:
- Fold the tortillas over the filling to form burritos.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Serve the Sloppy Joe Grilled Burritos hot. Enjoy them with a side of salsa or sour cream for dipping.
Enjoy your hearty and delicious twist on the classic sloppy joe, combining the flavors of a savory filling wrapped in a crispy, golden tortilla! Perfect for lunch or dinner!
