The slider... quite possible one of the best inventions EVER! They are perfect finger foods for parties, great backyard BBQ fare, make a great light lunch or dinner and usually get the thumbs up from the kidos. What more could you ask for? How about a spiced up healthier version of the classic slider.

We are subbing ground chicken for the traditional ground beef, and adding a kick of heat with some jalepeno and red bell peppers. Add three kinds of cheese and top with avocado and greens = yum! yum! yum!
