Ingredients
- 3 bolillos, Mexican rolls
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 3 cups refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheese (queso Oaxaca or Monterey Jack)
- Pico de gallo or salsa of choice
Instructions
- Slice bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on each slice.
- Place rolls, buttered side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and broil, until lightly golden brown and crispy, a minute or two.
- Spread a thin layer (roughly ½ cup) of refried beans over the toasted side of each roll. Top with shredded cheese
- Place molletes in oven and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Top each mollete with salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cheese: Feel free to choose your favorite cheese -- Monterey Jack or Mozzarella would make fine substitutes. If you’re looking for something a little spicier, Pepper Jack could be a fun option. Colby or Cheddar would also do just fine.
- Bolillos: Can’t find bolillo bread rolls? You can use French bread or Italian bread.
- Beans: Instead of traditional refried beans, you could try chorizo refried black beans
- Toppings: Feel free to make these your own -- select your salsa of choice, add sliced avocados or guacamole. Make them heartier by adding a fried egg or sprinkle with cooked chorizo on top!
