Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 bolillos (Mexican rolls) or other soft bread rolls
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Set it aside.
- Slice the bolillos (or other soft bread rolls) in half and toast them in the skillet, cut side down, until lightly browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the black beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate skillet, cook the eggs according to your preference (fried, scrambled, or poached). Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to make the salsa fresca.
- To assemble the Bacon Mollete, spread a layer of black beans on the toasted bolillo halves. Place a cooked egg on top of the beans, followed by a slice of crispy bacon. Spoon salsa fresca over the bacon.
- Repeat the same process for the remaining bolillo halves.
- Serve the Bacon Mollete immediately and enjoy!
