This recipe has been posted here for play in Culinary Quest - Tex Mex. Recipe found at website: http://www.midwestliving.com Lime- and jalapeno-spiced guacamole adds a kick to layers of refried beans, cheese, tomatoes and onions. Serve seasoned tortilla chips on the side. Cojita cheese is a Mexican cheese that comes in a hard, dry form or in a moister version. This recipe uses the moister, crumbly version to add flavor to an easy, make-ahead appetizer dip. If you can't find this cheese you may substitute with Monterey Jack.
