Guatemalan Dobladas Recipe

These Dobladas are a Guatemalan recipe that makes a nice, light meal. You cut them into wedges and serve as appetizers. I’d even eat it for breakfast! Dobladas means folded and that’s just what you do with the tortillas.

If you can't find Farmer cheese(or queso fresco or queso de capas), use cottage cheese and strain in a cheesecloth for several hours in a cool place.
