This recipe is a great way to use up leftover queso fresco. I always have some left over after making enchiladas or tacos, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more cheese. I think it would make the dish even more decadent.

I made this dish for my family and they all raved about it. The tomatillo sauce was a bit spicy for some of them, but everyone agreed that the queso fresco was perfect.
