Tex-Mex Sliders
Why do they call them sliders? Probably because they slide down so fast!
1 pound (450 g) 80/20-ratio ground chuck
Ā¼ tsp freshly-ground cumin
Ā½ tsp garlic powder
Ā½ tsp kosher salt
Ā½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp chipotle powder
4 thin slices Monterey Jack cheese
16 ea. 1-inch buns, split in half and toasted
Butter
Preheat an electric griddle to 350Ā°F.
Combine seasonings. Set aside.
Place meat out on a parchment-lined sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap. Roll out with a rolling pin until meat fills pan.
Remove entire sheet of parchment, including meat, from pan. Remove meat and cut into 16 equal patties with a pizza cutter.
Sprinkle both sides of each patty with seasoning mixture. Cook on preheated griddle 1 minute per side, putting cheese on cooked side after flipping.
