Queso Fundido #CheeseSociety

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and Cacique.

Growing up, one of our favorite snack treats was cheese melted in a tortilla. Nothing else. Just plain cheese from the block sliced and slipped into a tortilla and heated right on the gas range.

Nowadays one of my favorite ways to eat cheese is as Queso Fundido. The first time I had this oh so scrumptious treat was when I was out with a couple of friends for happy hour. We had this sizzling cheese right out of the oven delivered to us and we gobbled that dish up! Ever since then I’ve been making it at home and it is one of my favorite appetizers.

You can have it with either chips or tortillas but I like it best slathered on a warm tortilla then rolled up. Now I’m hungry for another bite.

When I joined the Auténtico Cheese Society and received my free cheese coupon, I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it. In fact, I used two different flavors of Cacique cheese to make this dish.
