Instructions

Prep the ingredients
1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mince or grate the garlic. Halve, peel, and finely dice the red onions. Cut the lettuce into ½-inch shreds. Peel the carrots, then grate them with a box grater. Finely chop the cilantro. Juice the limes.

2

Pickle the red onion: In a small bowl, combine half the lime juice and 1 cup diced onion.

Make the sloppy joe mixture
3

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and 2 cups red onion to the pan and cook, tossing for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Add the beef to the pan and cook, breaking up the meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through for 3-4 minutes. Add the cumin and chili powder to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir the tomatoes and soy sauce into the pan. Simmer for about 15 minutes, until very thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Make the honey-lime vinaigrette
4

In a large bowl, combine the cilantro, 4 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons honey, and the remaining lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Dress the salad
5

When the sloppy joe mixture is ready, halve the buns and place in the oven for 2-3 minutes to toast. Toss the lettuce and carrots into the honey-lime vinaigrette.

6

Plate: Serve the smoky sloppy joes inside the toasted buns, topped with the pickled red onion. Serve alongside the shredded carrot salad. Enjoy!
