Ingredients
  

1 lb shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken is perfect)

1 cup enchilada sauce (choose red or green based on your preference)

1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or sharp cheddar)

1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1/2 cup corn (canned, frozen, or fresh)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

12 slider buns (mini brioche or Hawaiian rolls)

1/4 cup sour cream (for topping)

1 ripe avocado, sliced (for topping)

1 jalapeño, sliced (optional, for a spicy kick)

Olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the sliders from sticking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 3/4 cup of your chosen enchilada sauce, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, drained black beans, corn, and chopped cilantro. Use a spatula or spoon to mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly coated and well combined.

      Assemble the Sliders: Carefully slice each slider bun in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves snugly in the greased baking dish, ensuring they fit tightly. Spoon the chicken mixture generously over the bottom halves of the buns, spreading it out evenly. Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over the filling for an extra burst of flavor, and top it off with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

        Add the Top Buns: Place the top halves of the slider buns over the cheesy chicken filling. For a golden, crispy finish, lightly brush the tops of the buns with a bit of olive oil.

          Bake the Sliders: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap in moisture, and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tops of the buns are nicely golden.

            Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Using a sharp knife, gently cut the sliders apart for easier serving. Top each slider with a dollop of sour cream, slices of fresh avocado, and jalapeño if you like a bit of heat.

              Enjoy: Serve your delicious mini chicken enchilada slider buns warm and enjoy them as the perfect treat for game day, parties, or a delightful family dinner!
