seems odd to make a queso dip with a cheese that has such a mild, un-cheesy flavor.


I have a question. What do they use that stuff for?


Obviously, I have never purchased any, but I understand (from people who do buy it) that it melts into a creamy white cheese - am told the consistency of Queso . If I wanted it spicy, I would add hot stuff to it such as jalapino or whatever.

I never buy Queso at Mexican restaurants because I like salsa and am content to eat that on my chips.

I've bought it before to use on top of some enchiladas or tacos. It's a very very mild flavor. Never have actually "cooked" with it .. just eaten it raw, both at home and at a couple Mexican restaurants/food trucks.

I would think it would give you a rather bland flavor even if you added peppers and onions and such (which you should obviously when making a queso). It's just not the right cheese for it. Bet it would come out pretty thin as well.

I rarely get it either. Except for @ the Superior in Shreveport who still knows how to do it right.

Yellow queso is multiples better and than white. At least in Texas it is.

Queso fresco is the most widely used cheese in Mexican cooking. The firm-textured fresh white cheese (its name translates as "fresh cheese") is slightly salty, with a mild, tangy taste similar to farmer's cheese. Like other fresh cheeses, queso fresco is lower in fat and sodium (despite its salty flavor) than aged cheeses. It's easily crumbled to sprinkle on dishes like enchiladas and tamales, as well as soups like black bean and tortilla. It also makes a tasty addition to cold vegetable salads. And although it softens, it does not melt when heated; queso fresco is classically used in the filling for chile relleños and quesadillas.

La Carreta? I've been to one of those up in Mandeville. Didn't get the queso .. and don't recall it being anything special. This was several years ago though.

That cheese is very gritty if you try to melt it.

yellow cheese is made yellow from added colors. Even cheddar and American isn't naturally yellow.
