Tex-Mex sliders are a twist on a classic Superbowl appetizer. Ground beef is seasoned with chopped cilantro, red pepper, and smashed black beans. Each slider is then topped with pickled red onions, avocado and salsa. If you love cheese on your sliders, opt for a slice of pepper jack or crumble some fresh Mexican cheese, cotija, on top.
