There are many different types of cheeses that people consider to be Mexican, and some are more authentic than others. A few are more popular with American-style Mexican dishes. When you think about Mexican cheese, you might think of Monterey Jack, queso fresco, queso cotija, panela, etc.
Tacos
Mexican cheese is a must-have when you make tacos. Regardless of the meat you use, the seasonings, etc., the melty cheese will help to bind all the ingredients together and make your tacos a little less messy while adding a lot of flavors. Some people prefer to add Tex-Mex style cheese blends to their tacos, while others prefer the more authentic queso fresco, a crumbly white cheese often used in street tacos.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas are a great dish because they're simple to make, and you can make them with so many different ingredients based on your preferences. Some like adding meat, while others prefer cheese as the main ingredient. Regardless of how you make your quesadillas, you'll need to use Mexican cheese to make it work and have the two tortillas bind together as the cheese melts.
Dips
Mexican cheeses are a great ingredient for cheese dips, and you can use a few different types to achieve the flavor you want. Some melt better than others, so it's best to experiment with different varieties to ensure the texture comes out right. You can also add peppers to add some spice to your cheese dip and make it more flavorful.
Nachos
If you prefer to make a nacho dish rather than dipping your chips in a cheese dip, you can top your nacho creation with various Mexican cheeses. You can also make a cheese dip and drizzle it on top of your nachos. Nachos without cheese are dry and dull, and Mexican cheese, in particular, works well with chips.
Pizza
Most pizza doughs are similar, and most marinaras taste the same. What makes a pizza taste distinct is often the cheese blend, and adding some Mexican cheese to your pizza can create a unique and delicious taste. Of course, Mexican cheese is essential if you're making a Mexican pizza—which uses tortillas instead of pizza dough.
Wraps and Subs
Mexican cheese is an excellent addition to American-style wraps and sandwiches. Trying different cheeses on your sandwiches can completely change their taste, so it's fun to experiment with different types. You'll find that some sandwiches go better with different kinds of Mexican cheese, and you might accidentally create your new favorite meal.
