    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Is there a substitute for cotija cheese in this recipe?

    There sure is! Feta, Parmesan or Romano would be good substitutes. In fact, parmesan cheese was used in the photographs because I was out of cotija when I was making this for the blog post.
