Black Bean Mollettes Recipes

BlackBean Mollettes

Mollettes are an ingenious Mexican peasant food. I say "ingenious" because you can use up lots of leftovers in your fridge and create a whole new delicious dish that is perfect for a weekend morning. Or quick desperation dinner when you open your fridge at 6:00 and stare while everyone is asking "Hey! What's for Dinner???"

If you are lucky enough to have a Latino bakery nearby - buy some bollillos, which are soft and pillowy rolls. Toast them as a base for Mollette perfection.

Here is the entire "recipe" - Cut a bolillo or soft bun in half and toast cut sides; Spread some regular or black refried beans on top; Top with toppings of choice. That's it. Really.

I used up some leftover rotisserie chicken, some pepper jack cheese - broiled this under the broiler and then topped with some shredded red cabbage that I tossed with honey and lime juice.

Enjoy this southwest treat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Be sure to call me when you make some. I'll be right over.

    What a great idea! These would be perfect for those "make dinner in 30 minutes or less" kind of nights.
