  2. Cotija is a very dry and crumbly Mexican cheese. It is the perfect topping in this recipe for Black Beans with Cotija Cheese. It's a salty cheese, so don't use too much salt when you make the beans.

    Serve these beans with a salad, or maybe alongside some spicy rice. They are also a good choice with quesadillas or other Mexican foods.
