List of Ingredients




For Salsa:

2 large ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced

1/4 red (Spanish) onion, finely diced

1 fresh jalapeno or serrano chili pepper, stemmed, seeded and finely diced

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

Juice of 1/2 lime

1/2 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper


For Sandwich:

6 bolillos or French or Italian rolls

1 1/2 cups refried black beans

1 cup grated Manchego, asadero, Monterey Jack or white Cheddar cheese, or a mixture



Recipe



Preheat a broiler or grill.


FOR SALSA: In a small bowl, stir together the tomatoes, onion, chili, cilantro, lime juice, salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.


FOR SANDWICH: Split each roll in half lengthwise and spread each cut side with a layer of beans 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the cheese(s) evenly over the beans.


Arrange the split rolls on a baking sheet and place in the broiler (grill) 4-6 inches below the heat source. Broil (grill) until the bread is crunchy, the cheeses are melted and the beans are bubbly, 6-8 minutes.


Serve hot with the salsa on the side.
