Ingredients

  • 12 oz Queso Fresco
  • 4 oz tomatillo finely diced. About ¾ cup.
  • cup white onion finely diced.
  • 3 serrano peppers minced or sliced
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely minced.
  • 1 ½ tbsp. olive oil
  • 0.10 teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortilla Chips to serve

Instructions

  • Gather all your finely diced vegetables in a bowl and mix very gently. Cut the cheese into large pieces and crumble with your hands.
  • Spread the crumbled cheese over your serving dish. Top with the miltomate and serrano mix.
  • Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

• Use tomatillos if Miltomates are not available in your area; regular tomatoes will also work just fine.
• You can use jalapenos instead of serrano peppers.
• I love to use the Ranchero Queso Fresco; ; as you can see in the pictures, it crumbles beautifully. Other options are Panela, Blanco, or Fresco.
