Number Of Ingredients 5

4 bolillo rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans, heated
1 (7 ounce) package BordenĀ® Southwestern Cheddar & Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese
Mexican salsa or pico de gallo, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Top molletes with Mexican salsa or pico de gallo.
