Scale

- 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder

- Salt to taste
- 8 slider buns
- 1 slice or 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté onion until soft (about 4–5 minutes).

Notes
Use slightly stale or day-old slider buns to prevent sogginess. For additional flavor, consider adding garlic butter before baking.
