Mexican dishes are incomplete without cheese andwithout the right cheese, Mexican cuisine is not authentic. Mexico is famous for some of its cheese; they have some of the most incredible cheeses in the world, including Asadero, Queso, Colby, and many more.
I often cook Mexican dishes at home, but I don’t get time to buy a variety of cheeses, grate and then store them. I have two kids accompanying me anywhere I go, so I just try to finish my kitchen chores pretty quickly.
For Mexican dishes, instead of buying multiple cheeses, I just buy Mexican Shred Blend. Mexican shredded cheese is the perfect combination of four kinds of cheese – Natural cheddar, Asadero, Queso Quesadilla, and Monterey Jack.
This blend is the best way to bring the authentic taste of Mexican cheese into my dishes. Everyone at my home loves the mix of colours and the flavours of the Mexican shred blend.
Mexican shred blend can be used to top nachos, quesadillas, and many other Mexican dishes. This cheese blend is also quite good for Tex-Mex cuisines as it has both white and yellow cheeses in it.
Apart from Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines, Mexican shredded cheese also gives an amazing twist to pizza and burgers. Basically, we can call Mexican shred blend a versatile cheese that compliments almost all the cheese dishes.
