Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning and water to the beef, stir well, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Slice slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom halves on a baking dish.
Evenly spread the taco meat over the buns, then top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce.
Spread sour cream and salsa on the underside of the top buns and place them on top of the sliders.
Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
