Calling all napkins! These are tangy, sweet, and sloppy - just the way you like them - but with a delectable hint of smokiness. If you don't have smoked paprika (also called pimenton) or chipotles (which are smoked jalapenos), try substituting half a teaspoon of liquid smoke.

How to make it
- In a large skillet over high heat, sauté the beef, onions, and garlic until the beef is cooked and browning, and all the liquid has boiled off (around 10 minutes).
- Turn the heat down to low, then add the spices and cook, stirring, for a few seconds.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients, then partially cover and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Divide the mixture among the buns and serve.
