Chicken Enchilada Sliders are bite-sized flavor bombs featuring shredded enchilada-seasoned chicken tucked into soft slider buns, topped with melty cheese, and baked until golden. These sliders combine the bold, saucy flavors of enchiladas with the convenience of a party-friendly sandwich — ideal for game days or casual gatherings.

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, and Cholula Original. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
2. Place bottom half of slider buns on a large baking sheet. Top with layers of chicken mixture, cheddar, and green onions. Put on top buns and brush with melted butter.
3. Bake until buns are golden and cheese is melty, about 10 minutes.
