Molletes

Method

1. 1 Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise, and scoop out some of the soft inner part so that the center is slightly concave.
2. 2 Spread unsalted butter on the cut surface and bake for 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
3. 3 Simmer the mashed black beans for 5 minutes until thickened, then season with salt to taste.
4. 4 Spread black beans on the bread, top with shredded Oaxaca cheese, and bake for another 6 minutes until the cheese melts.
5. 5 Mix tomatoes, onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and lime juice to make a fresh sauce, then spoon it over the pizza.
