Prepare the Slider Patties: In a large bowl, gently combine the ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped Hatch green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions and form into small, thin patties, slightly wider than your slider buns.

Cook the Patties: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the slider patties in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through to your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on top of each patty, allowing it to melt.

Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, brush the cut sides of the slider buns with melted butter. You can toast them on a separate dry skillet, under the broiler, or directly on the griddle for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Assemble the Sliders: Spread a generous amount of the prepared green chili mayonnaise on both the top and bottom halves of each toasted slider bun. Place a cheesy patty on the bottom bun. Top with thinly sliced red onion and fresh cilantro, if desired. Cover with the top bun and serve immediately.
