Step 1
• Wash and dry all produce. • Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lime. Drain mango over a small bowl, reserving 2 TBSP juice (4 TBSP for 4 servings).
Step 2
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add pork* and a big pinch of salt; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 3-5 minutes (it’ll finish cooking in step 5). TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out.
Step 3
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine coleslaw, scallion greens, mayonnaise, lime zest, 1 TBSP reserved mango juice (2 TBSP for 4 servings), and a big squeeze of lime juice until thoroughly combined. Season generously with salt and pepper. • Halve buns; toast if desired.
Step 4
• Add scallion whites, BBQ Seasoning, and ¼ tsp chipotle powder (add more if you like things spicy) to pan with pork. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
Step 5
• Add mango, ketchup, half the cornstarch (all for 4 servings), remaining reserved mango juice, 1⁄3 cup water (½ cup for 4), and a big squeeze of lime juice to pan with pork mixture. Simmer, stirring, until mixture has thickened and pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat. Season generously with salt and pepper if desired.
Step 6
• Divide pork filling and slaw between buns. Divide sloppy joes between plates. Serve with any remaining slaw and lime wedges on the side.
