mexican cheese

Want to make queso fresco at home? Here is an easy recipe to make this homemade cheese that is a popular topping for tacos, nachos, enchiladas and tostadas. &nbsp;Many Latin foods use this ingredient and it is so easy. &nbsp;

How to Make Perfect Queso Fresco

gal whole milk

vinegar (white, distilled)

Tbsp apple cider vinegar

tsp Kosher salt

Place a cheese cloth lined colander over a large bowl of pasta pot.

On medium heat bring milk to 170'F, stirring constantly to avoid uneven heating.

When the milk reaches the desired temperature, remove from heat and add vinegar types. Stir a couple of times, then allow it to sit untouched on the stove top for about 30-45 minutes.

Using a knife start breaking up the curds gently then start transferring to a colander using a slotted spoon.

Allow the curds to sit untouched for about 30 minutes so they can drain properly. Add salt and stir lightly.

Next, gather the edges of the cheesecloth and tie with kitchen twine or a twist tie. Hang from your sink faucet, and allow it to drip for about 30 minutes.

Remove from the cloth and using your hands gently mold the cheese into a flat disc, about 1" tall.

Return to the colander and let it sit this way for about 30 minutes.

Transfer cheese to a bowl, and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Breakfast Stuffed Poblano Peppers are mildly smoky and stuffed with eggs, hash brown potatoes, and Mexican-style cheese!

Breakfast Stuffed Poblano Peppers

poblano peppers

butter

hash browns

eggs

sun dried tomatoes (chopped)

scallions

Jalapeno Quesadilla Cheese

Cotija Cheese

Salt (and pepper)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place four poblano peppers on a rimmed baking sheet  and roasted in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the skin is bubbly.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet and once melted, add the hash browns. Liberally salt and pepper the hash browns, then brown for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Lower the heat to low.

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then stir in the sun dried tomatoes, scallions, and Quesadilla Cheese. Pour the mixture over the hash browns and stir to combine. Cook the egg mixture for 2-3 minutes until just-under-cooked, but scoopable. Remove from heat.

Remove any loose skin from the top of the poblano peppers. Gently cut a slit in the top of each pepper and scoop out the seeds. Then spoon the egg mixture into the poblano peppers. Reshape the peppers with your hands.

Sprinkle Cotija cheese over the top of each pepper, and place back in the oven for 5-8 minutes, until the cheese is toasted and the eggs are cooked through.

Stuffed Poblano Peppers (For Breakfast)- Mildly smoky poblano peppers and stuffed with eggs, hash brown potatoes, and Mexican-style cheese!

Try your very own vegan cotija cheese for a perfectly crumbly, umami-flavored topping on all your favorite foods like tacos, chilaquiles, and more!

Vegan Cotija Cheese

almonds

white vinegar (0.01)

yeast (0.12)

salt (0.02)

agar powder (0.10)

water (0.00)

refined coconut oil (0.42)

To begin, soak the almonds in room temperature water for about 10-12 hours, or overnight.

Place the almonds in a high-speed blender or food processor with vinegar, nutritional yeast, and salt. Blend until no large chunks remain, scraping down the sides throughout. Set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium-low, bring the agar and water mixture to a simmer while stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until it appears thickened.

Add the agar mixture to your blender, then the coconut oil. Blend everything together for another 1-2 minutes, or until the texture is similar to ricotta. Taste and adjust salt as needed (cotija cheese is traditionally quite salty).

Transfer everything to a cheesecloth (or nut milk bag) over a bowl or plate. Bring the edges of the cheesecloth in and twist together to remove any excess liquid.

Transfer to your fridge and let the cheese set in the cloth for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. Serve over all your favorite meals like tacos, chilaquiles, and more. Happy eating!
