Dobladas(Guatemala)

Submitted by Sharon123

"This makes a nice, light supper or lunch. Or cut into wedges and serve as appetizers. I'd even eat it for breakfast! Dobladas means folded and that's just what you do with the tortillas. If you can't find Farmer cheese(or queso fresco or queso de capas), use cottage cheese and strain in a cheesecloth for several hours in a cool place."

These were pretty interesting. I'd never used farmer's cheese before, and the texture is kinda crumbly, and it doesn't melt easily. I made a couple as stated in the recipe, and added a tablespoon or so of ground beef, for my meat-loving husband! Thanks for sharing, Sharon!
