What I like about sliders is that you can make a bunch of them all at once. I’ve made everything from Philly Cheesesteak Sliders to Easy Meatball Sliders and none of them takes more than 40 minutes to make (and most of that time is just baking them so the cheese melts). To make things go even faster on game day I prepare the chicken for my Chicken Enchilada Sliders the day before. I cook and shred the chicken and onions, then mix it with the enchilada sauce then put it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator overnight. On game day I heat the meat up in the microwave, pile the chicken and cheese on my slider buns, and bake everything until the cheese is all melted and the flavors all meld together into the ultimate halftime food!
You can serve your Chicken Enchilada Sliders with any of your favorite Tex-Mex garnishes. I added some fresh jalapenos to my mine! I also like to serve them with a little salsa and sour cream. That way I can add a big bowl of tortilla chips to the table and call it a day. Everyone chows down on chips and sliders and I get to cheer on my team.
