Why it worked
The video uses a relatable 'leftover' premise to provide a quick, visually appealing recipe that solves a common problem of what to do with extra ingredients.

Product placement
El Mexicano (a brand of Cotija cheese) appears as the packaging is shown; it does not act. Guerrero (a brand of corn tortillas) appears as the packaging is shown; it does not act. Removing these would not change the video.
