8 min08:00 - 7
Top with pico de gallo and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find bolillo, use a small baguette; toasting the cut side first keeps the bread from turning doughy once the beans are spread on.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve molletes for breakfast with optional hot salsa, avocado slices, and unsweetened tea.
