About Queso fundido

Queso Fundido is a rich and savory dish originating from Mexican cuisine, known for its irresistible melted cheese. Traditionally made with Oaxaca, Chihuahua, or Monterey Jack cheese, it may include flavorful additions such as spicy chorizo, sautéed peppers, or onions. This appetizer is often served bubbling hot in a skillet, accompanied by warm tortillas or crispy tortilla chips for dipping. While its gooey texture and bold flavors make it a favorite, Queso Fundido is high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium due to its cheese base and optional cured meats. On the plus side, it provides protein and calcium, which are essential for bone health. Moderation is key to enjoying this indulgent dish without overdoing it. For a lighter option, consider adding more vegetables or swapping some of the cheese for a lower-fat variety.
