Often called \u201cthe parmesan of Mexico\u201d and named after its birthplace, cotija<\/a> is a dry, crumbly cheese that tastes like a cross between feta and Pecorino Romano\u2014mouth-wateringly salty, in a good way. The cheese\u2019s straightforward flavor (milky, briny) makes it an ideal finishing touch on tacos, salads, casseroles, and, perhaps most famously, Mexican grilled corn known as elote<\/em>. Here we shower classics such as tortilla soup and huevos rancheros with the curds and cast them in a starring role with green vegetable tamales. Buen provecho!<\/em><\/p>\n
