Mexican Blend Cheese
Mild and buttery with a light tang, built to melt rather than stand out on its own.
Lens analyzedMexican blend cheese is a pre-shredded mix of two or more melting cheeses, commonly Monterey Jack, cheddar, queso quesadilla, and asadero, sold together for tacos, nachos, and quesadillas. The blend is built to melt smoothly and stretch well rather than to showcase any single cheese's flavor. It spares you from shredding and combining several cheeses on your own.
Where it comes from
Cheese blends packaged specifically for Mexican-style cooking grew popular in North American supermarkets as Tex-Mex and Mexican dishes became weeknight staples outside their regions of origin. Grocery brands settled on combinations that melt evenly and hold up under a broiler for nachos and quesadillas.
Buying it
Check the bag for a mix of cheese types listed rather than a single cheese with added flavoring, and look for shreds that move freely rather than clumping into a solid block.
Storing it
Keep the resealed bag refrigerated and pressed flat to limit air exposure. Use it within the printed window once opened, since pre-shredded cheese dries out faster than a block.
Keeps about 14 days in the fridge.
