    Molletes (Cheesy Mexican Bean Sandwiches)

    Main Courses, Recipes

    These hearty open-face sandwiches are ready in no time and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They’re typically made with refried beans; here we use pureed black beans scented with cumin and oregano instead for a similar effect.

    Total Time
    15 mins
     
    Servings: 2
    Ingredients
    • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
    • 3 tablespoons water
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup tomato, chopped
    • ½ jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
    • ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 2 4-inch bread rolls, halved
    • Extra-virgin olive oil spray
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheese, such as Oaxaca, mozzarella, pepper Jack or Cheddar
    Instructions
    1. Preheat broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. Combine beans, water, cumin, oregano and salt in a small food processor. Process until thick and smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside.
    3. Stir together tomato, jalapeño, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl.
    4. Arrange rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet; coat lightly with olive-oil spray. Broil until lightly golden and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven. Divide the bean mixture among the 4 roll halves, spreading evenly; top with cheese. Broil until the cheese has melted, 30 to 45 seconds. Divide the pico de gallo evenly among the sandwiches.
