[edit] Nicaragua
Quesillo is the name of a typical Nicaraguan dish. Literally translated, the word means "little cheese." Other peoples and cultures produce dishes by the same name, but aside from coincidental naming, they have nothing in common with the Nicaraguan dish or with each other.
Quesillos take their name from the soft, creamy Nicaraguan cheese used to make them. Most quesillos are made by spreading the aforementioned creamy cheese onto a white corn tortilla, then topped with a salad of chopped cabbage and seasoned with spicy vinegar sauce called simply "chile". They are often placed in a small, clear plastic bag, and the bag is then tied at the top. Quesillos are eaten through a small hole at the bottom of the bag.
Quesillos are most commonly produced in the department of Jinotega.
