– 1 cup mayonnaise

4-After that, add 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup crumbled or thinly sliced cotija cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, then stir once more.

5-Finally, serve warm or refrigerate to chill before serving. Remember, for adaptations like a vegan option, substitute with plant-based ingredients as needed.
