Tips
- Ground turkey is an equally delicious replacement for ground beef here. Just make sure to use a mix of light and dark meat—not ground turkey breast.

Step 1
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and onion; cook, stirring often to crumble beef, until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess grease and return beef to skillet.
-
Step 2
Add water, Pace® Medium Picante Sauce, Pace® Classic Taco Signature Sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and pepper; stir until well combined. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low; cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens and coats the beef well, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3
Spoon ½ cup beef mixture on bottom halves of buns. Top with bread-and-butter pickle chips.
