Preheat the oven to 180°C. For the filling, in a deep pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Add the onion, garlic, and cook for 3 minutes. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Add the cream, evaporated milk, and ground chipotle pepper and cook until thickened, adjust seasoning and set aside. Heat the beans with oil in a pan over medium heat and season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Cut the bolillos in half, remove the crumb if desired, and spread a little butter. Heat in a pan or on a grill and toast the bread over medium heat until golden. For assembly, spread a little beans on each bolillo, add the chicken, and sprinkle with Manchego cheese. Arrange the molletes on a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts. Remove and serve with slices of avocado, red onion, and your preferred salsa.
