Start by preparing the dough for the molletes, kneading it until well mixed.

Cover the dough and let it sit in the sun for about 1 hour to help it rise.

After an hour, knead the dough a bit more, using a small amount of flour to prevent sticking.

Divide the dough into small balls, ensuring they are of similar size for even cooking.

Flatten each ball into a tortilla shape, then fold it like a taco and press it down slightly.

Place the shaped dough onto a baking tray for baking.

Let the shaped dough rise for another hour before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the molletes in the oven for 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.

Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before adding toppings.

Spread a layer of refried beans on each mollete.

Top with cheese and sliced jalapeños as desired.

Add a drizzle of miel (honey) on top of the molletes.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro.

Squeeze lime juice over the top before serving.
