A Mollete is a traditional sandwich of Mexico that is typically served open-faced. It’s a comforting dish that can be compared to the American grilled cheese.
Made with common fridge-held items such as butter, refried beans, and a few types of gooey, melty cheeses, this sandwich is perfect when paired with a cold Mexican-style cocktail on Cinco de Mayo.
