Ingredients: 1 lb ground chicken. 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper. 1/2 cup diced red onion. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 1/4 cup sour cream. 1 tsp chili powder. 1/2 tsp cumin. Salt and pepper to taste. 12 slider buns. 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. 1 cup shredded lettuce. 1 cup diced tomatoes. 1/2 cup sliced black olives. 1/4 cup sliced jalapeos optional.
