Chicken Enchilada Sliders
Chicken Enchilada Sliders are the perfect party food you never knew, you always needed!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ Yellow onion diced
- 1 Jalapeño minced
- 1 10 Ounce can red enchilada sauce
- 3 Cups cooked shredded chicken such as rotisserie chicken
- 2 Cups Mexican shredded cheeses such as cheddar, monterey jack and chihuahua
- 1 12 Count package slider rolls cut in half horizontally
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 Cloves garlic minced
- Cotija cheese
- Cilantro chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the onion and jalapeño. Cook until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the enchilada sauce and lower the heat. Let the sauce simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the chicken and toss to combine.
- Using a bread knife, slice the slider buns in half so that you end up with two "sheets", a top half and a bottom half.
- Put the bottom half of the slider buns in a baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the buns and then spread the chicken mixture on top followed by the remaining cheese. Place the top half of the buns back on top.
- Add the butter and garlic to a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, until butter is melted and garlic has softened. Brush the tops of the buns with the garlic butter and sprinkle with cotija cheese.
- Loosely tent the baking dish with foil and bake covered for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and more cotija cheese. Serve hot!
