Bolillos/Birote — what to do with them! The perfectly baked bolillo should be crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Bolillo is the bread choice in many households in Mexico because it is used for almost any type of food from traditional to modern dishes, like a tortilla. You can use this bread daily for just anything — breakfast, lunch, or dinner — the possibilities are endless!
Breakfast
