The slightly sweet, mildly spicy blend of sweet and sour tomato sauce and ground beef is given a sojourn south of border in
these easy, warm Sloppy Josés taco-bowls. The sauce couldn't be easier - a can of sauce, a can of beans, a can of Mexican-style
corn and fresh browned ground beef. It's the same one-pot skillet meal your children crave, but with a little Mexican twist.

1 can (15.5 ounces) sloppy joe sauce
1 cup canned red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (7 ounces) Mexican-style corn, drained
10 (6-inch) corn tortillas, heated according to package directions, kept warm
3/4 cup finely shredded lettuce
1/2 cup finely diced tomato
