Substitutions for Cotija Cheese

[BosunsWife]

Does anyone know what I could substitute for this cheese. The recipe says you can substitute feta, but I can't have that as its unpasturized and I'm pregnant.

The recipe is for a stacked enchilada casserole made in a 9 or 10" spring form pan.

Here's from Cook's Thesaurus:

"cotija = queso anejado Notes: This is a sharp, salty white grating cheese that softens but doesn't melt when heated. Cacique is a well-known brand. Look for it in Hispanic markets. Substitutes: Parmesan OR Romano OR anejo cheese OR feta cheese OR nutritional yeast (This substitution works best if recipe calls for cheese to be sprinkled over a dish. Nutritional yeast is low in fat, high in protein and B vitamins, and it's not made with any animal products.)"
