Chorizo Sloppy Joes
Chorizo Sloppy Joes mix ground pork and spicy chorizo with sautéed onions and brown sugar in a tomato puree base. The resulting thick, saucy filling coats toasted brioche buns and is topped with guacamole, adding creaminess and contrast. This take on classic sloppy joes balances savory, sweet, and smoky flavors with a hearty texture that holds well in the bun.

Notes
- Use a kitchen timer to monitor cooking times for consistent results.
- Toast brioche buns before serving to help them hold the saucy filling.
- Break up the meat gently when cooking to keep some chunky texture.
- Guacamole adds creaminess but can be omitted or substituted as desired.
