Ingredients

  • 12 ounces thinly sliced low-sodium deli Roast Beef, cut into 1/2" strips
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced jalapeño pepper (about 1 jalapeño pepper)

  • 1/2 cup no-salt added tomato sauce
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 8 whole wheat slider buns

Directions

  1. Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and jalapeño pepper; cook 5 to 7 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. Add roast beef; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/2 cup salsa verde; cook 2 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently.
