Notes
- Cheese: Instead of queso fresco top with any cheese you have on hand or feel free to make without cheese.
- Bolillos: Can’t find bolillos? Opt for a crusty, French bread style roll or a loaf of French bread that you can assemble everything on and then slice into individual portions.
- Beans: Instead of homemade refried beans, feel free to use canned beans. Or refried black beans.
- Toppings:Feel free to make these your own -- select your salsa of choice, add sliced avocados or guacamole.
