How to make Hearty Cheesy Bean and Chorizo Molletes
- Preheat your oven broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Prepare the Pico de Gallo: In a small bowl, combine the 2 diced Roma tomatoes, 0.25 cup finely diced white onion, 1 minced small jalapeño, 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 0.25 tsp salt. Stir well, taste, and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Cook the chorizo: Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 0.5 lb Mexican chorizo (casing removed) and break it up with a spoon. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chorizo is fully cooked and browned, rendering its fat.
- Drain off any excess chorizo fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet for flavor. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the 15 oz can refried pinto beans, 0.25 cup chicken or vegetable broth, 0.25 tsp salt, and 0.125 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the beans are heated through and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Prepare the bread: Slice the 4 bolillo rolls or crusty French bread halves lengthwise. Lightly toast the cut sides under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until just golden, being careful not to burn them.
- Assemble the molletes: Spread a generous layer of the hot chorizo-bean mixture evenly over the toasted cut sides of each bolillo half. Sprinkle 1.5 cups shredded Oaxaca or Monterey Jack cheese over the bean and chorizo mixture on each piece of bread.
- Arrange the assembled molletes on the prepared baking sheet. Return to the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully, until the cheese is completely melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. The bread should be nicely toasted around the edges.
- Carefully remove the molletes from the oven. Serve immediately, topped with a generous spoonful of the fresh Pico de Gallo.
