An authentic Mexican ham sandwich is made with a bolillo roll.

Bolillos are also used to make molletes and molletes dulces (sweet molletes).

I found a bag of four bolillo rolls at my local grocery store.

If you can’t find them you can substitute with french bread.

Or you can make your own bolillo bread at home.

Here is great recipe for it here.

This will be your sandwich after all so what you want on it is up to you.

This is how my husband makes his sandwich and it’s pretty good!

• Bolillo roll
• Butter
• Mayonnaise
• Refried beans
• Ham
• Queso fresco
• Shredded lettuce
• Tomato slices
• Onion slices
• Pickled jalapeños
• Sliced avocado

How to make a Mexican ham sandwich

Slice the bolillo roll in half. Melt some butter in a skillet over medium high heat.

Toast the bolillo roll slices on each side for 20-30 seconds.

Toasting the bolillo rolls will give them a delicious buttery flavor and it will crisp up the bread a little.

Spread mayonnaise on both halves of bread. You can just spread it on one half if you prefer.

My husband likes both halves with mayonnaise. I prefer just one. What about you?

Spread some refried beans on one half.

Then top with some shredded lettuce and some slices of ham.

Next add the tomato slices, onion slices, pickled jalapeños, queso fresco and avocado slices. Then close the sandwich.
