ROTATING ADD-ONS
ARTISAN CHEESE | Cotija - LakeWolf Creamery, Deer Park, WA - This cheese is made by a similar aging process as our Enchilado. It brings a pleasant bite, and is traditionally sharper than the sweet Enchilado. Cotija doesn’t melt, but crumbles and shreds nicely to top-dress soups, salads, casseroles, tacos, tostadas, chilies, and pastas. Because of it’s uniquely strong flavor, some like to add Cotija directly into the recipe to give the dish verve.
