together with family and ate a lot of great ‘super bowl food’. I like to find any excuse to get together and eat great food…football or no football 😉 What is a party with out sliders? There is something about small, slider burgers that I think are so fun. They are cute, little, and the perfect size for kids. Costco sells slider pretzel buns which have quickly become a favorite of mine. Yes, if you are ambitious you could make them yourself, but when Costco makes them as well as homemade, sometimes I’m okay with that. I wanted to come up with a burger with all of the flavors I love from fajitas, but placed on a bun. The sauteed peppers and onions, and the avocado mayo is such a delicious combination. Add a little Mexican flair to your next burger night 😉 Yum!!


- 2 Tbls. butter
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thin
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin
- 1/2 orange bell pepper, sliced thin
- 1/2 onion, sliced thin
- 2 tsp. cumin
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- Salt to taste
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 4-6 slices pepperjack cheese
- Pretzel or regular hamburger bun
- Avocado mayo (1 cup may + 1 avocado mashed with a little lime juice and salt & pepper)
- Tomatoes or more salsa
- Slice all of the peppers and onions and set aside. In a saute pan, saute the onions and peppers in butter until tender. Once they are tender, season with the cumin powder, cayenne pepper, garlic, pepper, and salt. Keep the peppers/onions in the pan on low heat until burgers are ready to serve.
- Combine the turkey, beef, onion and salsa together and shape into patties. Grill on a hot grill or griddle until burgers are cooked through. Once burgers are cooked, serve them with the cheese, peppers/onions, avocado mayo (avocado mixed with mayo) on a hamburger bun. Top with pico de gala or more salsa if you wish.
