Cream Sauce - makes enough for 4 servings
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped garlic
2 tbsp diced white onion
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 tsp white pepper
3/4 cup grated Cotija cheese

Rice
4 oz cooked white rice
4 oz cotija cheese cream sauce
2 oz grilled corn
3 oz Oaxaca cheese, shredded
2 oz roasted Poblano peppers
2 oz roasted Red Bell peppers
1 oz chopped cilantro


Sauce
1. In a small saucepan, saut� the garlic and onions in olive oil. Add heavy cream and bring to a slow boil; simmer for 15 minutes.

2. Whisk in the white pepper and Cotija cheese and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly so the cheese does not stick to the bottom.

3. Place the mixture in a blender and puree for 10 to 15 seconds.

Rice
Place all of the ingredients except the Oaxaca cheese in a 10-inch Teflon pan. Cook the mixture until the rice has absorbed 80 percent of the cheese sauce. Turn off the heat and fold in the Oaxaca cheese.
