Homemade Mexican Blend Cheese Recipe
Mexican blend cheese is a popular combination of cheeses used in dishes like tacos, quesadillas, and nachos. Here’s how to make your own:
Ingredients
- 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Mild Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 oz Queso Quesadilla or Asadero cheese, shredded
- 2 oz Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Shred the cheeses: Use a box grater or food processor to shred all cheeses separately.
- Combine: In a large bowl, gently mix all the shredded cheeses together until evenly distributed.
- Store: Transfer the blend to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Tips
- For a spicier blend, add a small amount of finely chopped jalapeño or use Pepper Jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack.
- Always shred cheese from a block for better melting quality compared to pre-shredded cheese.
- This blend works perfectly for melting on casseroles, pizzas, and in dips.
