Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Sloppy Joes
You can always count on this updated version of a school cafeteria classic to get dinner on the table during a busy week. These dump-it-and-forget-it chicken sloppy Joes make the perfect make-ahead meal to prepare in a slow cooker. They rely on canned chipotles in adobo sauce for an exciting flavor upgrade: The slightly sweet, tomato-scented beef mixture is now balanced with smoky, spicy chipotles and made lighter with ground chicken. When it comes to the spice level, these chicken sloppy Joes pack a pleasantly spicy kick, but can easily be adapted to any palate. (For a milder version, simply use less chipotle.) Enjoy over warm burger buns, sloppy but delicious.
Crunchy Queso Wrap
A wildly popular novelty snack from Taco Bell, the Crunchwrap Supreme combines elements of a burrito with the tidier portability of a sandwich, in a stacked, layered and wrapped tortilla package. It delights for two practical reasons (low cost and convenience) and two culinary ones (crunch and cheesiness). An at-home version is a fun party trick — and it is endlessly customizable. Once you cook up the assertively spiced ground beef, the rest of this recipe is basically assembly: Start with the largest flour tortillas you can find, then layer on the meat (or crispy tofu, or refried beans), cloak it in queso, stack a tostada on top, pile on some chipotle sour cream, lettuce and pico de gallo, then fold and sear. Would you spend less buying just one at a Taco Bell? Yes, but your ratio of filling to tortilla will be paltry compared to this homemade version, which cheaply and happily feeds a crowd.
