Step 1

Start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and poblano pepper, cooking them until they’re nice and soft, about 5 minutes. Once they’re ready, scoop them out onto a plate for now. Next, add the ground beef and chorizo to the same skillet. Cook the meat, breaking it up with your spoon as it browns and gets crumbly, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle in the enchilada seasoning and tomato powder, then pour in the water, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir everything together and add the cooked onion and pepper mixture back into the pan. Let it all simmer gently for about 5 minutes so the flavors can meld. Serve the sloppy joe mix on toasted buns, and top with some creamy Oaxaca cheese and slices of avocado for a delicious finish.
