Ingredients
Molletes
- 4 small baguette cut in half and then crosswise
- 2 teaspoons butter I use vegan
- 1 ½ cup refried beans
- 7 oz grated cheese
- Pico de Gallo
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Slice the bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. Spread a little butter on the cut side and toast them in a skillet or under the broiler until golden and slightly crispy.
- Spread the beans: Evenly spread a layer of warm refried beans on each toasted bolillo half.
- Add the cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the beans.
- Melt the cheese: Place the molletes under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Make the pico de gallo: In a bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Top and serve: Spoon the pico de gallo over the warm molletes and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with salsa verde or salsa roja for an extra kick.
- Add avocado slices or a drizzle of Mexican crema for more creaminess.
- Serve with hot coffee or agua fresca for a traditional experience.
