Ingredients
For the meat mixture
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning or use 2 tablespoon of my homemade seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Moore's Original Marinade
- ½ cup water
- 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded (do not use pre-shredded, instead shred the cheese right before use).
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ medium sweet onion chopped
- ½ medium green bell pepper chopped
- 1 small jalapeno pepper seeded, minced
- ½ cup mango diced (you can use frozen, just that it ahead of time)

- 1 tablespoon sugar
For the sauce
- 1 cup salsa verde

For the sandwiches

Instructions
For the meat mixture
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, water, cheese, marinade and hot sauce. Keep stirring until the mixture reaches a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue simmering for 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- In a separate skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat and add onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and mango. Sprinkle with the salt and sugar.
- Cook until the vegetables are well caramelized, stirring often, about 15 minutes.
For the sauce
- Combine the salsa verde and mayonnaise and mix well.
For the sandwiches
- Toast the buns as desired. Slather with the sauce and top with the meat mixture. Serve.
