Sliders are amazing and easy for parties! We love these Cuban ones because it mixes things up from the sliders we typically see (i.e., buffalo or BBQ pork) they are perfect for game day, superbowl parties, and they have a tropical vibe for parties or dinners during the summer months.

12 Hawaiian rolls

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup yellow mustard

1/2 teaspoon cayenne
