Makes 1 mollete
1 bolillo or sandwich roll
4 T. butter
½ c. shredded cheese
¾ c. refried beans
4 slices ham
2 tomatoes
½ onion
½ jalapeño
1 lime
15-20 sprigs cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
Cut bolillo or sandwich roll in half. For a crunchy, crisp, sandwich, lightly butter the bread and toast the roll for 2 to 4 minutes in an oven at 400 °F. Next, top the bread with a layer of refried beans, ham slices, and shredded cheese. Bake again for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven and set aside. Then, make the homemade pico de gallo by mixing the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Finish the dish by topping each Mollete with the homemade Pico de Gallo.
