- 1 Tropical Queso Fresco Mexicano
- 10 tomatillos
- 4 serranos
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 bunch of cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cooking spray
- 1 cup cactus nopalitos
- 1/2 avocado
- 1 tablespoon Tropical Crema Mexicana
Instructions
- Prepare the tomatillo salsa by first cleaning all the vegetables with running water. Roast the tomatillos, the garlic and the serranos using a comal. Cook the tomatillos, the garlic and the serranos in a pot with some water until vegetables are cooked.
- Blend the cooked vegetables along with a bunch of cilantro and some of the cooking water but not a lot. Pour back the sauce into the soup pan. Season with chicken bouillon and cumin. Let the sauce simmer.
- Add cooking spray to a grilling skillet and grill the queso fresco on both sides. The cheese won't melt will just get the grilling marks.
- In a serving bowl add the warm salsa verde and then the grilled queso fresco. Garnish with cooked cactus nopalitos (optional), avocado slices and cilantro leaves.
- Finish with crema mexicana ribbons and serve with warm corn tortillas for tacos.
