I think my eyes are tired. I saw the "add" as "and".

Sue I am making your Elote - Mexican Corn on the cob and I see that it calls for Cotija Cheese. I know I can't get that here but looking it up I see that it is known as the Parmesan of Mexico so that is what I will sub.

I used the soft variety of cotija which feta cheese would be the best substitute. It's kind of like the two different kinds of goat cheese- soft chevre is crumbly and the harder aged goat cheese is dry like Parmesan or Asiago.
I'll be posting my completions for Friday soon. These don't count as tags, but Saturday I went to a friends and made my family's Mexican favorites: Chicken Chile Verde Enchiladas http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/chicke ... orite-2083 and Rice Chile Verde http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/rice-c ... orite-2082 I also made Strawberry Agua Fresca http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/strawb ... resca-5939. Today I have my beans simmering in the crockpot and my Horchata sitting, soon I will be starting my chicken and rice tags.
