Ingredients
- 12 hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (15g)
- 1 small onion (180g) diced small
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups/16 oz. cooked shredded chicken
- 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese (112g)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (112g)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (28g) melted
- Cotija cheese or grated parmesan, to garnish
- Fresh cilantro finely chopped to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Slice Hawaiian rolls in half (cut in half down the middle first to make this easier). Place bottom rolls on the sheet pan.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes, until onions have softened.
- Add the chicken and enchilada sauce. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, or to taste. Increase to medium-high heat and continue stirring occasionally for another 3-4 minutes or until chicken is heated through. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle half the Monterey jack and cheddar cheese over the bottom rolls, top with the chicken mixture then sprinkle with remaining cheese and add the top layer of rolls. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a little cotija cheese.
- Lightly cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake another 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and rolls are toasty to your liking.
- Garnish with cilantro and cotija cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
To reheat sliders: microwave each slider uncovered 15-20 seconds or just until the beef is heated through and cheese is melted.
