Molletes

Moletes are toasted bean and cheeze open faced sandwiches, to me this is the perfect dish. Good crusty bread, homemade re-fried beans and gooey cheeze, all topped off with homemade pico de gallo.

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked pinto beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 or so of water
• 1 medium loaf of good crusty bread
• 1 1/2 cups shredded daiya cheeze 
• Pico de Gallo

Directions

Preheat a broiler.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the beans. Using a potato masher, mash the beans until they become a spreadable mixture, adding water, if needed.
 cut the bread into 4 slices for the open face sandwiches, put the bread on a baking sheet and broil until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Spread each half of the bread with about 1/2 cup of the re-fried beans. Top with shredded daiya cheeze. Return to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and starting to bubble. Then top the open face sandwiches with home made pico de gallo. (I will post my pico de gallo recipe next)

This was sooooo good, I have to say making homemade re-fried beans is he way go go!!! they are so much better. this is a perfect little lunch or snack, you could make them on smaller pieces of bread and serve as appetizers. Bottom line if you used my bean recipe from my last post, you have to make this one with some of your beans! So good!
