Ingredients

Servings

• 8 ounce Green chiles
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 clove Garlic
• ¹⁄₂ cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Pepper
• 8 piece Slider buns
• 1 pound Tomatillos
• 1 piece Lime
• ¹⁄₄ cup Cilantro
• ¹⁄₄ cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Place green chiles on the grill and cook until charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool. Remove the skin, seeds, and stems, then chop the chiles.
3. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Shape the beef mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
5. Grill the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. While the patties are cooking, prepare the tomatillo lime sauce. In a blender, combine tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro, mayonnaise, and salt. Blend until smooth.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toast the slider buns until lightly golden.
8. Assemble the sliders by placing a cooked patty on each bun, then topping with the chopped green chiles and a spoonful of the tomatillo lime sauce.
9. Serve the sliders warm and enjoy!
