  • 4 bolillo rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 (20.5 ounce) can refried pinto beans
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 avocados from Mexico, peeled, pitted and sliced crosswise

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
