Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional, for serving)

Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef or ground turkey. Cook until fully browned, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Step 2
Add the black beans, salsa, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the cooked meat. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Step 4
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Spoon the sloppy joe mixture evenly onto the bottom half of each bun.
Step 5
Top with shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, or any other toppings of your choice. Place the top half of the bun over the filling and serve warm.
Step 6
Enjoy your delicious Black Bean Salsa Sloppy Joes with a side of chips, a salad, or fresh veggies!
