    Molletes go great with fresh pico de gallo on top, that is how we eat them in Mexico. Pico de gallo--- tomato, chile, onion, lime, salt pepper---all finely chopped!
    This is something like our grilled cheese for americans, a classic easy supper recepie! LOVE IT, thank you for showing real mexican cusine.

    I heated the bread in the oven before adding the beans. I also use Mexican crumbling cheese and tiny pieces of jalapenos and pieces of fajita on top. Everyone loved it, this will be a regular dish in my house.

    Followed the recipe, except for adding more seasoning per other reviews. Still found it to be pretty bland and dry. Hubby thought it was okay - Bolillo rolls are his favorite when in Mexico. Was surprised to find them at our local grocery store! I doubt I would make this again, no way I can think of to fix it...

    This are much better if you open your bread, spray olive oil and put them on the broiler just to warm up, then bring them out and spread refried black beans, top with chihuahua cheese and the pico de gallo salsa....

    I was really excited to make this recipe. I changed it up a little by adding bistec between the beans and cheese. Everybody absolutely loved it!!! I sent some over to my neighbors house and they knocked on my door for seconds. I was great! By the way, it is really refreshing to see authentic mexican food on the food network.

    Enjoyed this dinner, but I feel like it could have used a little more seasoning. Maybe I didn't salt the beans enough after they were done cooking. (I'm not the best cook Super easy dish to make and minimal clean up. I will definitely make it again.

    I made this as directed and it was a good meal. I'm a Southwesterner, though, and I like spicy food (which this wasn't, so next time, I'm going to stir in a bit of hot salsa and maybe even some corn into the bean mixture to give it a kick with a hint of sweetness.

    About the cheese: on the show, she said monterey jack or any melting cheese such as mozzarella would do. I used a mexican blend and it was good. And the bread she's talking about is usually in the Deli section, in the freshly baked breads. I found it in whole grain, which was a plus!
