DATE: Monday, June 21st, 2010
Ingredients
- 1 loaf baguette or semolina bread
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
- 1 can black beans (15 ounces)
- 4 teaspoons Ruthless hot sauce (or to your liking)
- 1 cup prepared salsa, any variety

- 1 heart romaine or 1/2 iceberg head, shredded
- 1/4 red onion or 2-3 scallions, chopped
- 2 plum or vine tomatoes, seeded and diced
Preparation
- Split bread lengthwise. Hollow the bread out and cut each half in half across, making 4 boats.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, 1 turn of the pan.
- Drain beans. Add half of the beans then mash the remainder of the beans in the can using a fork. Add mashed beans to the pan and combine with whole beans.
- Season beans with Ruthless hot sauce.
- When the spicy beans are hot through, spread them evenly across all of the bread.
- Top with salsa and liberally sprinkle with cheese, covering bread to all edges. The boats will only be half-full. Melt cheese in the oven until it bubbles and begins to brown.
- Top Bread with lettuce, onions and tomatoes and serve.
