Black Beans with Cotija Cheese uses tomatoes, onions, chicken stock, and cumin. Topped
with cotija cheese. |
Cotija is also known as Queso Anejado
or "aged cheese". The curd is aged and sold in small rounds or large
blocks. This is a salty and pungent cheese with the moist version being a bit like
Feta. The more common version is very firm, more like Parmesan. The cheese can be crumbled
and used in tacos, soups, salads or over beans.
