- For the bolillos, look for a fresh variety with a slightly crisp crust and soft interior.
- For the refried beans, use your favorite brand or make your own.
- For the bolillos, try using ciabatta bread instead. The ciabatta is slightly denser and chewier than the bolillos, which will help to keep the sandwich together and make it easier to eat.
- For the monterey jack cheese, try using mozzarella instead. The mozzarella has a milder flavor, which will help to balance out the spicy salsa, and it will also melt more easily than the monterey jack.
Chorizo and Avocado Molletes Replace the refried beans with 4 ounces of cooked chorizo, and add 1/2 cup of chopped avocado to the salsa ingredients. Top the sandwiches with the salsa and serve.
