Chipotle Sliders Recipes

SLIDERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• For the chipotle mayonnaise:
• Add all the ingredients to a food processor and puree. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• For the sliders:
• Preheat grill over medium-high heat.
• Form the meat into 2 to 3-ounce portions, packed tightly. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the sliders on the grill. Wait until they are nice and crusty on the first side, about 4 to 5 minutes and then flip and cook another 4 minutes. When the sliders are about done, top with desired cheese and close the grill, allowing the cheese to melt.
• Place the slider on mini burger buns and top with chipotle mayonnaise and any other desired toppings.

CHICKEN CHIPOTLE SLIDERS

Steps:

• For the chipotle aioli: Process the mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, honey, chipotle peppers and adobo sauce in a food processor until combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• For the sliders: Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, taco season and oil. Form 12 patties roughly 1/2-inch thick and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for medium direct heat. Grill the sliders until the edges start to turn a lighter white and the juices pool at the top, about 3 minutes. Flip the sliders and place a piece of cheese on each. Remove the sliders when the cheese is melted and the internal temperature of the chicken hits 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Place a slider on the bottom section of a bun, top with some aioli, watercress and the top section of the bun.

BEEF SLIDERS WITH CHIPOTLE SPECIAL SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the special sauce: Stir all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Make the sliders: Mix the ground beef, garlic and onion powders, salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper in a large bowl. Form the meat mixture into ten 2-inch patties.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough canola oil to coat the pan and heat until the oil is smoking. Add the patties and cook, flipping once, until heavily caramelized on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes for medium rare. Top each patty with a slice of cheese. Transfer the patties to a plate. Wipe out the pan, add the butter and melt over low heat. Add the buns cut-side down and toast them in the butter.
• Spread the chipotle special sauce on both cut sides of each bun. Place a patty and a piece of lettuce on each bun. Top each slider with a pickled jalapeno strip and a pickled carrot slice, securing them with a bamboo pick.
