Queso Fresco and Crema Mexicana
Time it takes to prepare:
5 minutes
Ingredients:
Corn tortillas
Mexican cream
Skim Milk Cheese (Queso Fresco) such as Ranchero
Instructions:
The 3 ingredients can be found in most any food market or Latino foods stores.
Warm up the tortillas just enough so there are some light brown spots on both sides. It should take about 2 minutes to warm up each side. Use a spatula to turn so you don't burn your hand while turning.
While tortillas are warming up, cut the cheese in thin slices.
Remove the tortillas from the stove and while they are warm, place the pieces of cheese in the middle. With a small spoon, layer over the cheese with the cream.
Fold the ends of the tortilla inward to hold everything together and enjoy!
