MOLLETES II ( MEXICAN BEANS ON TOAST)
If you're lucky enough to have a Mexican bakery nearby, use *bolillos or *teleras to prepare the molettes. (*Oval shaped bolillos and round teleras are basically the Mexican version of French bread.) We ate molletes all the time as kids but on Weber's white bread instead! ;) If pressed for time, use canned beans, however you are in for a real culinary treat if you use homemade refried beans and salsa. *Update 9 Sept 2010: I tried this bolillo recipe and it worked out really well!: Recipe #12298

Steps:
- Cut the bolillos in half lengthwise and then cut a small slice off the bottom of bread so that each piece lies flat. If using French bread, cut into 3/4" slices.
- Spread each slice of bread lightly with butter or olive oil, or a combination of.
- Arrange the bread slices on a cookie sheet and broil for about 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Divide warmed refried beans onto the rolls, sprinkle with cheese on top. Broil again but only until the cheese starts to melt, perhaps another minute or two at most.
- Remove molettes from oven and garnish with lettuce, if desired. Next top with salsa and guacamole.
