Mexican Blend Cheese Recipe
If you love cheesy food with rich flavor, you will enjoy this Mexican Blend Cheese Recipe. This simple mix gives you soft, creamy and melty cheese every time.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese mild or medium
- 1 cup shredded Asadero cheese or mozzarella if not available
- 1 cup shredded Queso Quesadilla or Oaxaca cheese
- Optional: 1 teaspoon cornstarch to prevent clumping
Instructions
Shred All Cheeses
- Use a grater to shred all the cheeses into fine strands. Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
Add Cheese to a Bowl
- Place all the shredded cheese into a large mixing bowl. Make sure the bowl is dry and clean.
Toss the Cheese Gently
- Use your hands to toss the cheese. Mix until all cheeses blend evenly. Do not press too hard.
Add Cornstarch if Needed
- Sprinkle cornstarch on top. Toss again. This stops the cheese from sticking together.
Move Cheese to Container
- Place the blended cheese into an airtight bag or container. Remove excess air for longer freshness.
Store in the Fridge
- Keep the cheese mix in the refrigerator. Use it within one week for the best flavor.
Use in Your Favorite Dishes
- Add the cheese to tacos, casseroles, burritos, soups, nachos, quesadillas, and dips. Enjoy the creamy melt.
Notes
- Shred cheese at home for better melt and texture.
- Use mild cheddar for soft flavor or medium cheddar for stronger taste.
- If Asadero is hard to find, use mozzarella or provolone.
- Add a little cornstarch to avoid clumps.
- Mix cheeses well to get even flavor in all bites.
