CHEESY POBLANO SLIDERS

Steps:

• Roast the poblanos over an open flame or under the broiler, turning as necessary, until charred all over, about 8 minutes. Place in a medium bowl and cover with a plate to steam and loosen the skin, about 5 minutes. When cooled, peel off the blackened outer skin, remove the seeds and stems and discard. Slice the poblanos into thin strips. Set aside.
• Set an oven rack as close as possible to the broiler. Heat the broiler to high.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until slightly softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the poblanos and cook until everything is very soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the crema and Oaxaca cheese and cook until the cheese is just melted. Reduce the heat to low, season with 1 teaspoon salt and keep warm.
• Combine the melted butter, chipotle powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Split the slider buns, put on a baking sheet cut-side up and brush evenly with the butter mixture. Broil until golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Place the beef patties on the baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium.
• Put a patty on each bottom bun. Spoon some of the poblano sauce over each and top with a tomato slice and cilantro leaves. Close the sliders with the top buns.
