Mollete Mollete A mollete () refers to an open-faced sandwich in Mexican cuisine or to a type of bread in Spanish cuisine. A "mollete" is a flatbread from the Andalusian region, in southern Spain. It is a soft round white bread, usually served lightly toasted with olive oil and raw garlic or spread with lard (usually in the forms of "manteca colorá" or "") in an Andalusian breakfast. The most famous are the ones from Antequera, Málaga. A "mollete", native to northern Mexico, is made with "bolillos" sliced lengthwise and partially hollowed, filled with "frijoles refritos", and topped with cheese and
Tex-Mex burritos. Moreover, Tex-Mex has imported flavors from other spicy cuisines, such as the use of cumin, introduced by Spanish immigrants to Texas from the Canary Islands and used in Berber cuisine, but used in only a few central Mexican recipes. And in recent years Tex-Mex has incorporated elements of traditional Mexican food into the cuisine, including the more creative use of chile peppers and the serving of so-called "street tacos" (which would be simply called "tacos" in Mexico --- normally a small serving of meat with onions and cilantro in place of the lettuce and cheese served on Tex-Mex tacos
