Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce (mild or spicy based on preference)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)

1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)

12 slider-sized soft buns (or small slider rolls)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Sour cream, diced jalapeños, and fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken Mixture:

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

      Brown the Chicken:

        Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, about 6–7 minutes.

          Add Flavor:

            Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

              Combine the Ingredients:

                Pour in the enchilada sauce, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly and let simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

                  Assemble the Sliders:

                    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each slider bun and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

                      Top and Bake:

                        Place the top halves of the buns on each assembled slider. Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.

                          Serve:

                            Remove the sliders from the oven and let cool for a minute. Optionally, top each slider with a dollop of sour cream, jalapeños, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
