Panela cheese is almost magic as it will melt but not lose its shape. This makes it perfect for quesadillas, or simply grilled by itself and placed on top of beans or a chile. This cheese, along with good corn quesadillas, makes for the simplest dish ever that your friends will love. They will eat more than two so have plenty of cheese on hand.

Go to a Mexican market near you. These here are made fresh by a vendor in LA and sold at Northgate Market. Cook the Panela cheese first in a pan. It should develop a slight crust on each side.Add Oaxacan cheese if you want something creamier.Toast the tortillas and enjoy with Borracha sauce.
