Ingredients
Coleslaw
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise
-
2 chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
-
1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
3 cups fresh shredded coleslaw mix
Pork
-
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
-
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
-
1 tablespoon tomato paste
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
-
1 1/2 pounds shredded fully-cooked smoked pork
Sliders
-
12 Hawaiian-style slider buns, such as Pepperidge Farm®
-
12 slices smoked gouda
Directions
-
For slaw, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, and cilantro in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse 4 or 5 times, scrape down the sides of the bowl, replace the lid, and puree until smooth. Toss with slaw mix and set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a sheet pan with foil.
-
For pork, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine lime juice, honey, tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, pepper, coriander and garlic. Stir to combine. Add shredded pork and stir well. Heat on 50% power until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, place open buns on the prepared pan. Add a slice of smoked Gouda to the bottom half of each bun; trim any overhang, and add as a second layer of cheese.
-
Bake buns in the preheated oven until cheese has begun to melt, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and place 2 tablespoons pork mixture on top of cheese. Add slaw to taste on each slider, and cover with top half of bun. Serve immediately.
