Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, crumble the queso fresco and mix it with cornstarch until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Cheese

    Take small amounts of the cheese mixture and roll them into small balls or discs, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese

    Carefully drop the cheese balls into the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Make the Avocado Puree

    In a blender, combine the avocado, juice of the lime, salt, and cilantro. Blend until smooth.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the crispy chicharron de queso and serve with the avocado puree on the side.
