Grilled Yellow Pepper Queso Fresco Delight

Ingredients

- 4 large yellow peppers
- 8 ounces queso fresco, crumbled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Prepare the Charcoal Grill
- Light the charcoal and allow it to heat until it achieves medium heat. This should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

2. Prepare the Peppers
- Rinse the yellow peppers under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Slice each pepper in half lengthwise, removing the stem, seeds, and membranes.

3. Marinate the Peppers
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Brush the inside and outside of each pepper half generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

4. Grill the Peppers
- Place the pepper halves on the charcoal grill, skin-side down.
- Grill for about 8 minutes, then flip and grill the other side for another 8 minutes. Both sides should have a nice char and the peppers should be tender.

5. Add Queso Fresco
- Once the peppers are grilled, remove them from the heat and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Evenly distribute the crumbled queso fresco over the grilled pepper halves, allowing it to slightly melt from the residual heat.

6. Final Touch
- For an extra flavor boost, drizzle any remaining olive oil mixture over the top.
- Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
