Oven with broiler

Preheat the broiler to high and set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat. Finish the quick prep by splitting the bolillo rolls and dicing the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño as needed.

Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while cutting produce.

Wash hands, knife, and cutting board after handling jalapeño pepper, and avoid touching your eyes.
