Cotija Cheese Salsa

Recipe #298699 | 20 min | 20 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 , 6 -8 cups (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: rsppsmetzler

This is an excellant, fresh tasting dip. It is a sort of dry salsa that uses Cogija mexican cheese. Cacique makes it and it is very easy to find in the southwest. The cheese is a crumbly, salty cheese that is very good. You could make this and eat it with corn tortilla chips or add as a garnish to any mexican style meal. With out the seeds it is very mild for even a young guest, but can be hotter if you leave in the seeds. Our guests alway love it.
