Tequeño

A Tequeño is a type of fried cheese that is breaded. The cheese is usually queso blanco (white cheese). It came from the Venezuelan town of Los Teques. It is popular in Venezuela as a snack for parties.

Preparation
To prepare it, the dough is wrapped around a cheesestick and formed into a breadstick so it can be fried in oil for 6 minutes at  or  sometimes oven-baked. Other things can go inside the filling such as chocolate or chorizo.
