Queso Flameado
- 12 to 18 ounces Panela cheese
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup gold tequila
- Lime juice, to taste
- 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.
