What's fantastic about these sliders is that they are open to so many possibilities. Try it with different types of cheese or perhaps add smoked bacon. If you prefer a more fiery kick, mix some jalapeno slices into your guacamole. Kids can help assemble the sliders, adding another layer of fun to meal preparation.
