One of my favorite meals is my Mexican American Breakfast. I wake up early and prepare this tasty breakfast for my husband and I on a weekday or during the weekend. We both love Bigelow #AmericasTea so when #CollectiveBias invited me to participate in this shop I was thrilled with the opportunity.

That is why today I want to share with you my Mexican American Breakfast that consist of “molletes”and tea. An easy recipe that brings me so many great memories when I was a teenager and a college student. Molletes are a treat that we Mexicans grow up with, it is like a bruschetta but with refried beans and topped with cheese and Mexican salsa over a toasty “bolillo” bread. These flavors go great with the American Breakfast Bigelow Tea that I found at Walmart.

INGREDIENTS

For the molletes:

• 2 bolillos or small baguettes
• 1 teaspoon of butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup of refried beans
• 1/2 cups of shredded cheese (preferably Mexican style mix)
• 1 cup of Mexican Salsa

For the Mexican salsa

• 1/2 purple onion chopped
• 1 medium size tomato chopped
• 1 serrano pepper chopped
• 1 lemon (juiced)
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
• Salt to taste

Preparation time: 20 minutes. Serves two portions. Cost per serving less than $2.00 dollars depending on the cost of the ingredients at your local supermarket. You will need a chopping block, an oven, knife, spoons and measuring cups.

See the video tutorial to learn how to make my Mexican American Breakfast step by step and follow this instructions:

1.- Start by preparing the salsa see recipe details here. Chop all the ingredients and combine together on a mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with cumin and salt.
2.- Cut the bolillo bread in halves and spread butter on each slice. Then add the refried beans and the shredded cheese.
3.- Bake in the oven for 1o minutes at a temperature of 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
