Taco Sliders with Hawaiian Rolls - Easy Slider Recipe for a Crowd!

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Monterey jack is often less expensive and melts well.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Plain yogurt provides a similar tangy flavor with fewer calories.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

💰Cheaper: guacamole

Mashed peas can mimic the texture, while guacamole is a flavorful alternative.

slider buns

🥗Healthier: whole wheat buns

💰Cheaper: regular hamburger buns

Regular buns are often cheaper and still work well for sliders.

Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half.

Preheat the pellet smoker to 400°F.

In a bowl, combine ground beef with Malcolm Reed's chili taco seasoning and about a tablespoon of tomato paste.

Mix the ground beef mixture until well combined.

Layer cheese on the bottom of the rolls.

Mix jalapeños with the cheese.

Add the seasoned ground beef mixture on top of the cheese and jalapeños.

Top with green salsa verde and taco sauce.

Add sharp cheddar cheese on top of the beef mixture.

Butter the top of the rolls and keep them open-faced.

Place the assembled sliders in the pellet smoker at 400°F until everything is melty and gooey.

Remove the sliders from the smoker once the cheese is melted.

Add sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, and raw onion on top of the sliders.
