Hey, can anyone suggest a solid swap for cotija cheese in elote? Running out and need a quick fix. Feta or Parmesan might work, but I'm looking for options that keep that authentic vibe without killing the flavor. Anyone experimented with this? Would really appreciate your insights!

Cotija cheese craving got you down? Your elote can still be a fiesta! Feta cheese crumbles for a salty tang, queso fresco for a milder option, or grated parmesan for a punch of salty goodness. Ricotta salata adds a touch of sweet and salty and crumbles beautifully too!

No worries, your elote can still be lit without Cotija! Feta for a tangy kick, queso fresco for mild vibes, or parmesan for that salty punch. Ricotta salata? Sweet and salty vibes, plus it crumbles like a boss!
