Cheese is an ingredient that everyone wants in their dishes. With its dairy flavour and strong taste, it gives a strong and intense taste to the dish. If you are a Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine lover, we all know that Mexican food can never be a complete dish without the cheese. The key to authentic Mexican cheese blend taste is always a Mexican cheese.
And one of the most popular cheese use in Mexican dishes is Mexican cheese blends, blending different types of Mexican cheese together gives a good and strong Mexican taste to the dish. It is usually used to sprinkle on top of quesadillas, nachos, and many other Mexican specialties. Not just the Mexican food, Mexican cheese blend is suitable for non-Mexican styles dishes like omelettes, casseroles, baked goods, and others too.
So, what’s the best type of Mexican cheese blend?
Mexican cheese blend is a mixture of four different types of cheese, i.e. monetary jack, natural cheddar, queso asadero, and Oaxaca cheeses.
These four kinds of cheese are grinded up and mixed together in particular portions so that the cheese mixes and melts perfectly with other ingredients used while preparing an authentic Mexican dish. You might be wondering why four different kinds of cheese? And this is what seperates the Mexican cheese blend from other cheese blends. Each cheese has its own importance in making the shredded cheese blend shine.
- Cheddar cheese helps to provide excellent colour, unique sharp and nutty flavour to the cheese blend.
- Monterey Jack gives a very distinct taste and also helps to blend the other three kinds of cheese.
- Asadero provides a creamy texture, the one which you get while melting the cheese.
- Queso Quesadilla contributes a nice acidity to the mix
