Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make fajita sliders at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full instructions.

• Ground Beef– I like to use a lean ground beef 80% lean or higher.
• Fajita Seasoning Mix– Check in the seasoning section of the grocery store. You can substitute taco seasoning mix if needed.
• Cheese Slices– I like to use cheddar cheese for these sliders. Any of your favorite variety works great.

How To Make Baked Sliders

Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 inch baking dish lightly with non stick cooking spray.

Prepare Ground Beef Mixture. Place ground beef and Fajita Seasoning into a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine. Transfer beef to prepared baking sheet and press down evenly into dish.

Bake. Bake for 30 minutes, or until baked through. Remove and drain grease if necessary.

Add Cheese. Top with cheese slices and return back to oven for a couple minutes to melt cheese. Remove and cut burgers into appropriate squares to fit your slider rolls.

Cook Onions and Peppers. While burgers are baking, heat oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and red bell peppers, stirring until softened. Takes about 10 minutes, stirring often.

Arrange Sliders. Spread mayonnaise onto rolls and layer with a burger, onions and peppers, then lettuce leaf. Close with top roll and use a long toothpick to keep together if desired. Serve warm.
