Description

Taco Sliders are a fun and flavorful twist on traditional tacos—perfect for parties, game days, or casual dinners. These bite-sized sandwiches are layered with seasoned beef, gooey cheese, and classic taco toppings inside soft, toasted slider buns.

Ingredients

Scale: 1x

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1/4 cup water
• 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/4 cup salsa (optional)
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Spread the seasoned beef evenly over the bottom buns.
6. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef, then top with lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion.
7. Place the top halves of the buns over the fillings.
8. In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush this mixture over the tops of the buns.
9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
10. Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.

Notes

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
• Add jalapeños, hot sauce, or avocado for extra flavor.
• Best served fresh, but leftovers can be wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven.
