How To Make mexico joes

1Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over high heat, until hot. Add ground round and onions; cook 5 minutes, until meat is browned and onion is tender, stirring to crumble meat. Add chiles, taco seasoning, and tomato sauce, stirring well. Cook over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, or until thoroughly heated, stirring often.
