  6. Fry avocados, a few at a time, about 3 minutes or so on each side until they are golden brown.
  7. Place avocados, along with the bacon, on a baking sheet and put into a 200ºF oven, to keep warm while continuing with the next steps.
  8. Split open the rolls and scoop out excess bread. Toast under a broiler until golden.
  9. For each slider, spread the top half with the mayonnaise mixture.
  10. Spread the bottom half with the refried beans.
  11. Lay a bacon strip on the bottom half of the roll.
  12. Place an avocado quarter on top of the bacon.
  13. Top with lettuce, cheese and slices of tomato and onion. Add the top half of the roll.
  14. Secure top of the roll with a toothpick speared with a pickled jalapeño slice and serve warm.
