Instructions

1
Slice the roll in half and toast the cut sides on a hot griddle or skillet for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
2
Spread refried beans on the bottom half of the toasted roll.
3
Place the whole, unwrapped tamal on top of the beans — the tamal acts as the filling in its entirety. Spoon salsa generously over the tamal.
4
Top with crema, sliced avocado, and pickled jalapeños. Close the sandwich and press gently. This is guajolota, Mexico City's iconic street breakfast sandwich — carb-on-carb and unapologetically hearty.
