Tequeño

Tequeño is a fried breaded cheese stick or a spear of bread dough with queso blanco (fresh cheese) stuffed in the middle, and is a popular meal or snack in Venezuela. 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 400 °F (204 °C) or sometimes oven-baked. Tequeños can be eaten for breakfast, as a starter or sidedish, or as a snack food at parties and weddings. There are similar dishes, such as Peruvian Tequeños, which use a Wantán dough and can have other fillings than cheese. They are often eaten with Guacamole.
