Sliders
- 10 slider buns I used Sprouts’ fresh dinner rolls
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- One package Sprouts Carne Asada
- 5 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled and sliced
- 1 tomato sliced
Pineapple Jalapeno Jam
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced white onion
- 2 jalapeños diced (seeded if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup spiced rum
- 1/2 pineapple diced
- 1 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup raw sugar
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
instructions
- To make the jam, heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add onions and jalapenos, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in rum and cook until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in pineapple, lime juice, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until softened. Remove from heat, then stir in cilantro, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat grill. Once the grill is hot, add carne asada to the grill. Grill until medium rare, about 2 minutes per side.
- Let meat rest for 10 minutes. Slice into thin strips.
- Spread halved buns with butter. Top bottom halves of the buns with slices of carne asada, dividing evenly between the buns.
- Top with cheese and place on a sheet pan. Place sheet pan in the oven with the broiler set to High. Broil until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
- Top sliders with slices of tomato and avocado. Finish with a heaping tablespoon of pineapple jalapeno jam. Finish with the top halves of the buns.
- Serve immediately.
