Mexican Tapas Molletes

I know I have been remiss about sharing my new finds and creations but, I have a new job during the day and have had my husband, George, taking the spatula and creating amazing meals.
I do still get in the kitchen on the weekends so, her goes.
We wanted a little lunch before heading out to the grocery store so I looked to see what we had to use.  I saw some Pinto beans that were left over as well as a French baguette that needed to be used.
We had gone to the Cheese Cave in Vero Beach on Saturday to pick up some glorious cheese.  They have not only the best selection but their prices are reasonable.  I love a good cheese and saw a little piece of habanero jack I knew I needed to try. 

Then I still had some fresh salsa left over so it too needed to be used as to not go bad.
When I was in Mexico back in the 90's George and I went every morning for breakfast to a place called the Paloma Blanca in front of the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico to see what would be jumping out of the Pacific Ocean to greet us today. I ate the Molletes; essentially beans on French bread with cheese on top.  Here is my version. Play with it to make it your own.

1 loaf of french bread sliced into 1 inch thick slices
1-2 cups cooked pinto beans (use any type of bean you like) drained, smashed with a fork,
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp chopped pickled jalapenos
4-6 chopped scallions
4 oz your favorite pepper jack cheese shredded (or what ever oozy cheese you like)
your favorite salsa or use my salsa recipe below

Put your oven on broil

First put the slices of bread under the broiler just to slightly brown tuning once. 
Take them out and place on cookie sheet and add to cover, the pinto beans and add a little pinch of cumin on top of each slice.  Sprinkle the jalapenos and scallions over each piece then cover each piece with cheese.
Put under the broiler till melted and oozing. 
Take out and add the salsa.
Enjoy!
