Southwest Quinoa Sliders with Avocado Cream Sauce

Ugh, I have the Monday blues. It doesn’t matter that this is a short work week - Mondays will always be Mondays. Although I am pretty freaking grateful that I have Thursday and Friday off. Now if only I can survive the grocery store tonight. I have some last minute things to pick up so I can make this stuffing with jalapeño cornbread.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I am so grateful that I have a menu finalized! Jason’s sister’s family takes care of the bird and various sides but this year, I am in charge of the ham, stuffing, cornbread, candied yams, and dessert. I just hope I can pull it all off. I always plan way more than I can handle!

Now you’re probably wondering why on earth I would post quinoa sliders today. I did have a week of Thanksgiving leftover recipes for you guys but then I thought, with the biggest holiday right around the corner where we all overindulge and overeat and can’t fit into our skinny jeans, I couldn’t help but post a meatless, healthy recipe. I think it’s safe to say that we all need to go a bit lighter in preparation for the big day, right?

And that’s exactly what this recipe does. It’s vegetarian-friendly and chockfull of Mexican flair with chipotle peppers, corn, beans and of course, a creamy avocado sauce. Now don’t be fooled by the size of these cute little sliders. A couple of these babies is just enough for a perfectly light yet hearty dinner option!
