When we say these sliders have gone south, we mean it in the best way. Sliders are pretty much everyone’s favorite food, but sometimes they need a flavorful upgrade. We thought a little Southwest kick could be interesting, and tried adding our Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad kit to the stack. Pile these sliders high with sliced avocado, red onion, grilled jalapenos, tomatoes, and the ingredients from the salad kit. The result is delectable!

Ingredients

Taylor Farms Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad Kit
6 slider buns
6 small burger patties (beef, chicken, or plant-based)
6 slices of cheese (cheddar or your choice)
2 avocados, sliced
2 fresh jalapeño peppers
1 large tomato, sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Smokey paprika cornbread crumbles & crispy corn (from the salad kit toppings packet)
Creamy elote dressing (from the Salad Kit)
Olive oil or cooking spray
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare the Salad Kit: Open the Taylor Farms Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad Kit and separate the greens from the toppings and dressing. Toss the greens lightly with half of the dressing (reserve the rest for later).

Grill the Jalapeños: Slice them in half—and if you prefer less heat, remove the seeds. Lightly coat them with olive oil and grill on medium heat until slightly charred and softened. Set aside.

Cook the Patties: Season them with salt and pepper, then cook on a grill or stovetop until done to your preference, adding a slice of cheese on top during the last minute to melt.

Assemble the Sliders: Toast the slider buns lightly on the grill or in a pan. Spread a small amount of the remaining elote dressing on the bottom bun. Add a handful of the dressed greens from the salad kit. Place a cooked burger patty with melted cheese on top of the greens. Layer a slice of tomato, grilled jalapeño, red onion rings, and sliced (or smashed) avocado. Top with the slider bun and secure with a toothpick if needed.

Spice it up: Coat the rim on the layer of avocado with the toppings packet for a smoky, crispy texture.

Serve: Serve the sliders with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick. Pair with your favorite iced tea or beverage for a complete mea

More About Mexican Street Corn

Street corn, also known as “elote,” is a culturally significant food in Mexico—mostly because of corn’s historical significance throughout the country. Corn as we know it today originates from the indigenous cultivation of maize thousands of years ago. Maize was a central part of Aztec and Mayan diets, and it was used to make many foods we still know and love today, like tortillas and tamales.

“Elote” (which literally means “corn cob” in the Aztec language of Nahuatl) emerged as a popular street food in the 20th century. Today, elote vendors are fixtures of contemporary Mexican street life. It’s an affordable, on-the-go snack enjoyed by most everyone—and its popularity is spreading globally. The simple prep includes combining creamy toppings like mayonnaise and cheese, a tangy squeeze of lime, and a kick of chili powder on a hot corn cob. Yum!

Our Mexican Street Corn Chopped Salad Kit takes it up a notch, of course, by adding green leaf lettuce, shredded broccoli & cabbage, carrots, smoked paprika cornbread crumbles, green onion, crispy corn, parmesan, and a signature creamy elote dressing. If you can’t get to Mexico, it will bring Mexico to you!
