Recipe - Queso Flameado

18 ounce Panela cheese
One half cup Flour
One fourth cup Olive oil
1 cup Gold tequila
Lime juice,; to taste

Slice the cheese 1/2inch thick and place in a bowl of ice water for about 5
minutes. Pat the cheese dry and dust with the flour, shaking off any
excess.

Heat a large cast iron skillet, over a high heat. Add the oil and fry the
cheese, turning once, until golden brown. USE CAUTION: Standing far enough
back so you do not get near the flames, ignite the tequila. Let the flames
die out.

Remove the cheese and tequila to a platter and finish with a sprinkling of
lime juice. Serve with pickled chipotle peppers and warm corn tortillas.

Yield: 6 servings
