Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup pork lard or vegetable oil
1/3 cup finely chopped white onion plus 8 very thin slices
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15-oz) can pinto beans, rinsed
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
4 large soft white rolls , such as portuguese (preferably oblong)
2 cups shredded roast chicken or pork
4 tbsp crema or sour cream
12 to 16 slices pickled jalapenos with 2 tsp juice from can or jar
1/4 cup crumbled queso cotija ( aged white cheese) or parmesan
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
2 radishes, very thinly sliced
1 (6- to 8-oz) firm-ripe avocado, sliced
2 cups thinly sliced romaine

Directions:

Heat lard in a large heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook chopped onion and garlic, stirring, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Add beans, broth, and 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste) and simmer, mashing beans, until beans resemble a coarse purée, about 5 minutes.
Halve rolls horizontally and hollow out slightly, discarding excess bread. Generously spread refried beans on both sides of each roll, then make sandwiches with remaining ingredients and salt to taste.
