Mexican Dessert
MOLETTES

¼ cup butter
4 rolls
1¼ cups refried beans
1 cup grated Four Mexican Cheeses

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Let butter soften at room temperature. Cut rolls in half. Remove a little bit of the insides from each half to make a hollow spot. Spread butter over the hollow spots on the roll halves. Put rolls in over. Bakel at 400 degrees for 5-to-10 minutes or until rolls turn crispy and golden brown.
While rolls are baking, cook refried beans in pan at low heat. Put beans in hollow spots in rolls. Add salsa and sprinkle cheese over each roll.
Makes 8 moletttes or half rolls. Takes 15-to-20 minutes.
