What is “Cotija” Cheese?
Cotija cheese is a type of Mexican cheese made from cow’s milk. It is named after the town of Cotija in the state of Michoacán, Mexico. Here are some key characteristics of Cotija cheese:
- Texture: Cotija cheese has a crumbly and firm texture. When fresh, it is somewhat soft and can be crumbled easily. As it ages, it becomes harder and more similar in texture to Parmesan cheese.
- Flavor: The flavor of Cotija cheese is salty and tangy. It has a strong, distinctive taste that can enhance the flavors of many dishes.
- Usage: Cotija cheese is often used as a topping for Mexican dishes such as tacos, elote (Mexican street corn), enchiladas, and salads. It does not melt well, so it is typically used as a finishing cheese, crumbled or grated over dishes to add flavor and texture.
- Comparison: Cotija cheese is sometimes referred to as the “Parmesan of Mexico” because of its strong flavor and crumbly texture. However, it is typically saltier and less aged than Parmesan.
Cotija cheese is a popular ingredient in Mexican cuisine and can be found in many grocery stores, especially those that carry a wide range of international or Hispanic foods.

Cleaning your Blackstone after cooking on it:
Cleaning your Blackstone griddle after making tacos is essential to maintain its performance and longevity. Begin by allowing the griddle to cool slightly, but not completely, as cleaning is easier when it’s still warm. Use a scraper to remove any food residue and grease, pushing it towards the drip tray. Next, pour some water onto the griddle to help loosen any stubborn bits, and use a grill brush or a non-abrasive scrub pad to scrub the surface. Wipe it down with a paper towel or a cloth to remove excess water and grime. Finally, rinse with clean water, wipe dry, and apply a thin layer of oil to the surface to prevent rust and keep it seasoned. This routine ensures your Blackstone griddle stays in top condition for your next cooking adventure.
