  • 3 avocados mashed
  • 4 tablespoons cilantro minced
  • ½ cup Salsa
  • 8 Slider buns
  • 1 tablespoon Butter

  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs and half of the sliced onions into a large sealable plastic bag (like a Ziplock bag).
  2. Add the fajita seasoning to the bag, then use your hands to rub the seasoning evenly onto the chicken.
  3. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 5–6 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  4. Preheat a Ninja Griller or BBQ grill.
  5. Remove the chicken thighs from the bag and grill them for 15–18 minutes, or until almost fully cooked.
  6. Set the chicken thighs aside.
  7. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and remaining sliced onions.
  8. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

  10. Place the tops of the slider buns on one baking sheet and the bottoms on another.
  11. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  12. While the oven preheats, melt the butter in a small bowl.
  13. Add the minced garlic and Tajín seasoning, stirring to combine.
  14. Brush the Tajín butter mixture over the tops of the slider buns.
  15. Once the oven is ready, bake both sheets of buns for 5 minutes.
  16. In another small bowl, mash the avocados into a chunky consistency.
  17. Spread the mashed avocado generously onto the bottom of each slider bun.
  18. Place a grilled chicken thigh on top of the mashed avocado, pressing lightly so it adheres.
