Molletes con pico de gallo

Method

1. 1 Cook the black beans until tender, then mash them and stir-fry until the mixture thickens.
2. 2 Cut the loaf in half lengthwise, then hollow out the inside to make the center of the loaf deeper.
3. 3 Hollow out the center of the bean and cheese to fit more filling; if you don't hollow it out, the filling will all slide out.
4. 4 Spread a thick layer of mashed beans, then sprinkle shredded Oaxaca cheese on top.
5. 5 Bake at 220 degrees for 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust is crispy.
6. 6 Chop tomatoes, onions, jalapeño peppers, and herbs, then mix with lime juice and salt, and arrange on hot bread.

With an appliance

• Air fryer 25 min

  Replace step 5: steam in a 200-degree oven for 7 minutes; the crust will crisp up faster than baking in a conventional oven.
