Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | To 18 ounces Panela cheese | |
| ½ | cup | Flour |
| ¼ | cup | Olive oil |
| 1 | cup | Gold tequila |
| Lime juice, to taste | ||
Directions
Slice the cheese 1/2inch thick and place in a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. Pat the cheese dry and dust with the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large cast iron skillet, over a high heat. Add the oil and fry the cheese, turning once, until golden brown. USE CAUTION: Standing far enough back so you do not get near the flames, ignite the tequila. Let the flames die out.
Remove the cheese and tequila to a platter and finish with a sprinkling of lime juice. Serve with pickled chipotle peppers and warm corn tortillas.
