12 sliders
ingredients
- 3 fat fresh jalapeno peppers
- extra virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, for drizzling
- 1 red fresno chile pepper, sliced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons onions, grated
- 1 large garlic clove, grated
- 1 small handful cilantro leaf, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper
- 2 lbs coarsely ground beef sirloin (lean) or 2 lbs chuck (fattier)
- 1 brick sharp yellow cheddar cheese (2-by-2-inch) or 1 smoked yellow cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces, thinly sliced)
- 12 slider rolls, such as 3-inch brioche rolls or 12 cornmeal-topped dinner rolls, split
directions
- Preheat an outdoor grill, indoor griddle or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Cut off and discard the tops of the jalapenos. Using an apple corer or fork handle, scoop out and discard the seeds; slice the jalapenos into strips or rounds.
- Heat a little olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the jalapeno and fresno chile peppers and toss for a couple of minutes until crisp-tender and charred at the edges.
- Combine the cream cheese, onion, garlic, cilantro and cumin; season with salt and pepper. Season the beef with salt and pepper; form 12 patties (thinner at the center). Coat with olive oil; grill or griddle for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and top with some cream cheese mixture and sliced cheese.
- Grill with the lid down (or tent with foil) until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve on the rolls topped with the chile pepper slices.
