Easy Pork Sliders Recipe with Guajillo Mayo

Ingredients

• 12 ounces ground pork
• 2-3 tablespoons guajillo paste  (or use Harissa chili paste)
• 1 spicy chili pepper (optional - minced (use jalapeno for mild heat, serrano for hotter, habanero for hot, or ghost for extra hot))
• 2 tablespoons bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ½ cup mayo
• 1 teaspoon guajillo paste (or use Harissa chili paste)
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• Sliced jalapeno peppers ((Use banana peppers for milder))
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 6 slider buns

Steps

1. 1

   Make the pork sliders by adding the ground pork, guajillo paste, chili pepper, bread crumbs and seasonings to a mixing bowl. Hand mix, but do not overmix or the burgers can become mealy.

2. 2

   Form the meat into 6 2-ounce patties. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

3. 3

   When you’re ready to cook, heat a grill pan to medium heat and coat the pan with olive oil. Cook the sliders about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.

4. 4

   As sliders are cooking, add sliced jalapeno peppers and sugar to a large pan. Add enough vinegar just to cover them. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

5. 5

   For the Guajillo Mayo, whisk together mayo, guajillo paste and vinegar until creamy and well combined.

6. 6

   Add sliders to buns, top with Guajillo Mayo and lightly pickled peppers.
