Molletes

Molletes

We like to eat molletes for breakfast, so I’ll usually make the beans ahead of time and refrigerate them until we’re ready to assemble the toast.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dried pinto beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 16 slices white whole wheat bread
  • 1 cup shredded queso blanco
  • 1/3 cup chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)

Directions

Step 1
Place beans in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Let stand for 1 hour.

Step 2
Drain and rinse beans. Add enough fresh water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and rinse.

Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans and salt. Fry until beans are very soft, stirring and mashing frequently, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler on low heat.

Step 5
Spread an equal amount of beans on each slice of bread and sprinkle queso on top. Place bread slices on a baking sheet.

Step 6
Broil until beans are warmed and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from oven and top with chile-garlic sauce.
