Sloppy Janes

Here is another great recipe I owe to my sister. She took her version from Barbara Chernetz. I have modified it slightly by increasing the amount of cilantro to 1 cup and using Texas Toast or homemade garlic bread instead of corn bread which will add calories, but they are sooooo worth it.
