Ingredients
  

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated flaky biscuits (8 count)

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)

1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)

1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Cooking spray

Optional toppings: diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, salsa

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring it's hot and ready for your sliders.

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it browns. Drain any excess fat for a leaner filling.

      Add Taco Seasoning: Once the beef is cooked through, sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat. Pour in 2/3 cup of water, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and is well flavored.

        Prepare the Biscuit Base: While the beef mixture simmers, take your can of biscuits and open it carefully. Cut each biscuit in half horizontally to create distinct top and bottom halves for your sliders.

          Assemble the Sliders: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay out the bottom halves of the biscuits. Spoon a hearty portion of the seasoned beef mixture onto each biscuit bottom. Add a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by a few diced tomatoes, optional black olives, and a sprinkle of diced red onion.

            Top and Bake: Place the top halves of the biscuits over the filled sliders. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to encourage a golden brown finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuit tops are nicely browned and cooked through.

              Finishing Touches: After removing the baking sheet from the oven, allow the sliders to cool for a couple of minutes. Top each slider with a generous dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro. Feel free to include additional toppings such as diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, or your favorite salsa for extra flavor.

                Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the Mini Taco Biscuit Sliders on a vibrant serving platter, and serve them warm. These sliders are ideal for entertaining or as a delightful weeknight meal!
