So glad you like it!

I've made it twice and shared the recipe with those who tasted it.

I assume you are using the soft cojita cheese?

My husband is immune-suppressed and can't eat feta or any soft cheeses like cotija or queso fresco (much to his dismay I might add). Parmesan is substituted often for the harder version of cotija cheese - do you think that would be okay in this recipe? Or, does the cheese add to the creaminess? I was thinking I could add a little crema to it if needed. Any suggestions? TIA!

I used the crumbly cotija...

it just shredded into little bits and was a bit dry, not unlike the pre-crumbled feta you can get in the supermarket.
