Cook's Notes:
Traditionally the fresh brined cheese is homemade. You can substitute with other brined cheeses (halloumi, cotija). For best results pass the cheese through a meat grinder, but finely shredded works well too.
These go great with a simple sauce: combine plain yogurt, crushed garlic, salt, and chopped fresh dill.
