Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20)
• 3 Roasted green chilies (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Tomatillos (husked and washed)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 cup Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 Jalapeño (seeded and chopped, optional for heat)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 8 Slider buns
• 8 slices Cheddar cheese (sliced)
• 8 Lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Butter (softened, for toasting buns)

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced roasted green chilies, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 3

3. Divide the beef mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into slider-sized patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter.

Step 4

4. Drizzle a small amount of vegetable oil on the grill or skillet. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheddar cheese to melt.

Step 5

5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the tomatillo lime sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 6

6. Just before assembling, lightly butter the slider buns and toast them on the grill or skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

7. To assemble the sliders, spread a generous amount of the tomatillo lime sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Place a lettuce leaf on top, followed by the cheeseburger patty. Finish with the top half of the bun.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Green Chile Sliders with Tomatillo Lime Sauce!
