Substitutes for Quesillo

A substitute changes the dish. The note says how.

• OaxacaOaxaca cheese is the same style of stretched cow's milk curd, sold in strings, and it melts in tortillas the way Honduran quesillo does.
• MozzarellaFresh mozzarella is a mild stretched-curd cheese that melts and pulls, though it is usually less salty than quesillo.
