13 Queso fresco Recipes From 8 Cuisines.

A soft, white, mildly salty fresh cheese used across Latin America as a finishing element rather than a melting one. It softens under heat but keeps its shape, so it is crumbled over beans, tacos, elote and enchiladas to cut the richness underneath. It has a short life and a high moisture content, so buy small amounts and use them within days. It is not a stand-in for mozzarella in anything that needs to stretch or brown.
