Cotija Cheese

​

Cotija cheese is one of my favorite Mexican cheeses. It's a dry, crumbly cheese with a sharp, salty flavor. I love using it as a garnish or topping for dishes such as tacos, salads, and soups. Cotija cheese doesn't melt well, so it's best used for dishes where you want the cheese to retain its shape and texture.

​

Here are some of my favorite ways to use Cotija cheese:

• Sprinkle it over tacos, burritos, or enchiladas for a salty, cheesy topping. I love using it on carne asada tacos or al pastor tacos.

• Crumble it over salads, such as a Caesar salad or a Mexican-inspired salad with avocado, tomatoes, and corn. Cotija cheese is also a great addition to a taco salad or a quinoa salad.

• Add it to soups, such as tortilla soup or pozole, for extra flavor and texture. Cotija cheese is a classic ingredient in both of these soups.

• Use it to make a cheesy dip, such as a guacamole dip or a queso fundido. Cotija cheese is a great way to add extra flavor and texture to either of these dips.

• Grate it over eggs, pasta, or vegetables for a salty, cheesy topping. I love grating Cotija cheese over scrambled eggs or over a pasta dish with roasted vegetables.

 

Cotija cheese is a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a great way to add flavor and texture to your meals. If you're looking for a new cheese to try, I highly recommend Cotija cheese!
