The only issue I had was there was an ingredient called “Cotija cheese”. I had never seen this cheese kosher, and after a thorough search I couldn’t find it kosher.
When in Tony’s, I found Cotija cheese and it looked a lot like grated parmesan. I also did a search for substitutions for Cotija cheese, and grated parmesan was one of them.
Non-Kosher Cotija Cheese looks a lot like parmesan don’t you think?
The whole dairy and meat thing
Given that my grill is totally meat gender, I couldn’t use diary cheese because of the whole kosher thing, you know… no meat and milk together. I ended up using the plant based Follow Your Heart grated parmesan and it worked great. Problem solved.
Plant Based Parmesan looks a lot like Cotija cheese and was a great tasting substitute.
Make sure to allocate enough time to soak the Elote Salad corn
It’s important to soak the whole corn for at least an hour because it’s going to go on the grill and we don’t want it to burst into flames. Even though the whole corn is being grilled over indirect heat, it still gets pretty cooked.
Even when the corn is put on the offset heat rack it still gets browned.
