        <content>I have a pound of it. Seems to be one piece, not crumbled.  I have always seen it used as garnish, a sprinkle on top of refried beans, plantains, etc.  At that rate I'll never use it up.  Can it be used for quesadillas?  In enchiladas? Or, is too dry, won't melt properly?  Any ideas on how to cook with this?</content>

      <content>You can most definatly use it in Quesadillas or as a stuffing for Empanadas.  It won't melt like waxy cheeses, but it does develop a nice texture and taste when heated (My favorite way to do a quesadilla this way is with bits of chopped shrimp!) 
 
But my ABSOLUTE favorite way to eat Queso Fresco is in a Classic cold cut Torta.  Great Ham (Not smoked or honey baked... just regular old HAM!  I love Boars Head Premium) with thick chunks of Queso Fresco and slices of  spicy carrots, onions and pickled Jalapenos on a fresh baked crusty crisp bollo slathered with Yellow Mustard and Lemon Flavored Mayonaise
