About Queso cheese
Queso cheese, derived from the Spanish word for "cheese," is a creamy and flavorful dairy-based staple commonly associated with Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. Traditionally, it’s made by melting cheese—such as white cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend—with milk, cream, or butter, often seasoned with spices, peppers, and sometimes tomatoes for added zest. Queso is widely enjoyed as a dip for chips, a topping for nachos, or a drizzle over hearty dishes like enchiladas and tacos. While queso provides a good source of calcium and protein, it’s important to note that it’s typically high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, depending on the recipe. Moderation is key to enjoying queso as part of a balanced diet. For healthier options, lighter versions made with reduced-fat cheese or plant-based alternatives are gaining popularity without sacrificing the dish’s rich and satisfying flavor.
